Although they appear to be giant humanoid robots, the Evangelion Units (or EVAS) are actually cybernetic organisms, integrating a mostly biological being with a substantial mechanical infrastructure and flexible polymer sheeting and armor plating. Despite their enormous size, they are capable of superhuman movement, able to easily leap their own height and jump hundreds of meters from one spot to another. To power their massive frames through these actions, they use internal batteries, an umbilical cable, or an S² engine. Officially, their internal batteries' charge varies: one minute of power at full output, five minutes at minimum operational capability, and sixteen hours if only used to maintain life support in the entry plug. Eva Unit-00 is the Prototype, the first successful attempt at creating an Eva Unit, and is piloted by the First Child, Rei Ayanami. The head design is similar to that of the dozens of previous failed attempts, but with only one eye instead of five. There are also two domes on the top of the head; their function (if any) is not revealed. Because it is only the prototype, Unit 00 was not built for combat and cannot be fitted with D-type equipment. The Orange Armor for Eva Unit-00 was destroyed beyond repair by a Particle beam. #EVA #Evangelion #Mecha #Neon_Genesis_Evangelion #Robots
