Evangelion pre-Unit 00
Several prototype models were made that all failed, these can be seen in the Evangelion graveyard. They are all orange and have one eye. Most of these Evangelions' organic structures have rotted, and are little more than armoured skeletons. All have the word "reject" pained on their heads in large red letters.Evangelion Unit 00
Piloted by Rei Ayanami. This is the only successful Proto Type Model. It has one eye,
and was initially orange, but that armour was destroyed by the 5th Angel's particle beam and it was rebuilt with blue armour that matched the final armour design of the Production Type models. It has gone berzerk twice, both times lashing out at enemies of Naoko Akagi, prompting a belief that her soul was implanted in the Eva prototype. Made in Japan.Evangelion Unit 01
Unit 01 is piloted by Shinji, and has the best battle record of all the Evangelions. It has been known to act without power and without pilot input (so called berserker mode), especially when Shinji's life is endangered. Known to contain the soul of Yui Ikari, Shinji's mother. This is the Test Type Model, is purple, and has two eyes. Made in Japan.Evangelion Unit 02
Asuka's Eva. Colored red, and has a native language mode of German. Known to contain Asuka's mother's soul. First Production Model, made by NERV Germany, has four eyes. Evangelion Unit 03 (13th Angel - Bardiel)
Black production model Evangelion produced by NERV-01 in Massachusetts USA, identical to Unit 02. The US government was very eager to offload this Eva after the explosion of Eva-04.
