Evangelion Unit-01 Stage 2 Specification

WorkNEON GENESIS EVANGELION ANIMA

Using the data from previous encounters with the Angels, this Evangelion Unit is the evolution of the technology used on Evangelion Unit-01, the armor of this unit sports the trademark purple and green colors of the latter. It has however much more black plates and has more green details. The armor of the unit is also noticeably more bulky due to the fact that it is developed from the Evangelion Unit-01 Type F.

It was used more as a testbed for new weapons and technology than combat itself, since no Angel activity happened after the end of the Battle at NERV HQ, until the resurgence of the enemies. The Type B Equipment was rarely used in combat and it was used more when testing. It would eventually just be treated as regular loadout.

One difference between even the same Stage 2 specifications, Evangelion Unit-0.0 and Evangelion Unit-02 Type II were equipped with high-heeled boots for high mobility, while the Unit-01 is equipped with low-cut type boots that are advantageous for the increased ground pressure that comes with heavy armament.
