Profile[]
This unit has been developed from what was left of the Mass Production Evangelion units captured after the battle at NERV HQ and somehow went later missing. As such, it is essentially the same unit in appearance save for a more bulky armor, and a visible, empty ribcage. The red and black sigil is located in the chest, near the ribcage.
Features[]
Its armament is fairly simple, as it only consists of a Sasumata-shaped weapon. It also has access to a cocoon-like container stored inside its ribcage. This cocoon contains a part of an Angel and allows for the use of the ability that Angel possessed. It also does have a massive invisible power shield, using it as in both defensive and offensive when needed. Contrary to its predecessor, it isn't powered by an S² Engine but uses a mysterious, scaly engine called "Q.R. Signum" which is spread on its body (In the chest, the forearms and the thighs). This engine receives continuous power from the mysterious Evangelion, Armaros.
History[]
Neon Genesis Evangelion: ANIMA[]
It suddenly appears and attacks NERV Japan, it fought against Shinji and Evangelion Unit-01 (Using F-Type equipment), utilizing mist and the Sachiel power and its staff to fight. Later it fought Evangelion Unit-02 Type II in the old NERV headquarters, later Unit-02 went into the Underground Armory Six (Also known as Pandora’s Box) to retrieve the Lance of Longinus replica to use against it. The Angel Carrier went into the abandoned Geofront that was sealed in a sarcophagus of Hard Tektite Concrete when it suddenly gets impaled in the chin by Lance used by Unit-02 Type II, which disintegrated its lower jaw. Using the staff and the invisible power shield, it fought back against Asuka but suddenly changes target into using the combined strength of its staff and power shield to pierce the wall. Inside it, it finally encounters the Chronostatic Sphere, object that was sealed in the aftermath of the battle from 3 years ago. Unit-02 Type II used the Lance to pierce the power shield and perforate the red and black sigil near the cocoon, breaking it. The Angel carrier started disintegrating as if it was never there. But at any point the eyes of of the Angel Carrier met Unit-02 Type II, only looking at the Chronostatic Sphere, in the end, the Angel Carrier face shows satisfaction.
