Evangelion Unit-02 Type F (エヴァンゲリオン弐号機F型?) is an Evangelion Unit that first appeared in Dengeki Hobby MagazineWP, and later in the Neon Genesis Evangelion: ANIMA Visual Book artbook.
Profile[]
It is a proposal for an update for the Evangelion Unit-02, focusing on close quarter combats and specialized in armor reinforcement, unlike the Evangelion Unit-00 Type F and the Evangelion Unit-01 Type F, it was not developed in time and was not deployed in the battle against the Mass Production Evangelions.
Since it is not equipped with special armaments such as Impact Bolt or the Angel's Backbone, it has a good maintainability unlike the other Type F equipment, and in some cases, armored restraints can be replaced on-site. Evangelion Unit-02 Type F would be equipped with the N² reactor. It uses a powerful armor over it body and members, that can protect but also slows it down comparing to the Evangelion Unit-02. Regardless of it, it is still able to fight in close combat with two ATF Curved Swords by focusing the A.T. Field on the blades.[1]
Weapons[]
- ATF Curved Sword
- ATF Curved Sword (ATF曲刀, ATF Kyoku Katana?) (Also known as ATF Curved Fword for Unit-02 Type F (弐号機F型用ATF曲刀?)) is a set of two swords is considered a part of the armor and does not have a separate weapon serial number. As it has curved swords installed on both arms as fixed armament, it is generally not equipped with long-range firearms such as rifles. This is based on the assumption that it will be a combination of the ultra-long-range firing of the Evangelion Unit-00 Type F and the mid-range attack using the Impact Bolt of the Evangelion Unit-01 Type F.[2]
- Bizen Osafune
- its special weapon is a large two-handed sword Bizen Osafune.[3]
History[]
Neon Genesis Evangelion: ANIMA[]
It was being developed in preparation for the battle against SEELE's Evangelions, but due to the pilot's mental state, priority was given to the development of Evangelion Unit-01 Type F, and rebuilding of Evangelion Unit-00'. In reality, this equipment never saw action, since the development of the Type F was halted and SEELE plans for Human Instrumentality Project were in motion, using the Unit-02 as catalist instead of the Evangelion Unit-01.
CR Evangelion X[]
It also appears on the pachinko game CR Evangelion X, where you can see Shinji, Asuka and Rei all using their Evangelions with the Type F Equipment to fight against the Tenth Angel. Rei uses the Angel's Backbone to destroy most of the A.T. Field used by the Tenth Angel, Asuka uses the blades to destroy more fields, until a single defensive layer remains, but is pushed away by the tendrils. Shinji uses the Impact Bolt to attack the angel, causing a massive explosion, finally defeating it.
CR Evangelion ～Ima, mezame no toki～[]
In the pachinko game CR Evangelion ～Ima, mezame no toki～, Shinji and Asuka are seen fighting against the Tenth Angel, both of them are using Evangelions with the Type F Equipment. The Tenth Angel uses its A.T. Field and tendrils to attack from a safe distance, Asuka runs toward it, cutting the fields and dodging the attacks. Shinji uses the Impact Bolt to destroy the Angel, finishing the fight.
Trivia[]
- It was designed by Ikuto Yamashita.
- In the pachinko game CR Evangelion X, the design under the Type F is of the Rebuild of Evangelion designs, rather than the TV designs.
