Angel Carrier Type-3 (エンジェルキャリヤー?) is a mysterious being that appears in Neon Genesis Evangelion: ANIMA novel.
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, shoulder pylons and a visible, empty rib cage. The red and black Q.R. Signum is located in the two shoulder pylons. Unlike the Angel Carrier Type-2, this Evangelion is able to fly by using the wings in its back.
Features[]
It also has access to a cocoon-like container stored inside its rib cage to use the powers derived from the angel carried in the cocoon.
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 (more precisely inside the shoulder pylons, the forearms and the thighs). This engine receives continuous power from the mysterious Evangelion, Armaros.
History[]
Neon Genesis Evangelion: ANIMA[]
Shinji's fought the Zeruel Carrier while controlling the Super Evangelion with the new Vertex equipment to be able to fly.[1] Another Carrier also fought against Super Evangelion, The Armisael Carrier, which had one of the Q.R. Signum destroyed by the support fire given by Evangelion Unit-00 Type F, Shinji ended shooting the head of the Zeruel Carrier using the KEG-4 Yamato Rebuild as it fell to the ground, before being absorbed by the Mutant Evangelion Unit-0.0, piloted by Rei Quatre, which ended up gaining another Q.R. Signum and the Angel Carrier Type-3 wings, now colored black as it escapes with Misato as a hostage.
Trivia[]
- While the text shows the wings coming from their back, the illustration by Ikuto Yamashita has it depicted sprouting from the arms.
