Seen only in the
Neon Genesis Evangelion movie
Air and
Heart, the Eva Production Unit is employeed solely by the
U.N. and
Seele in an attempt to retake
Tokyo-3 and stop
Nerv.
Piloted completely by the
Dummy Plug system, the Eva Production Unit features a set of collapsible wings enabling flight, a modified copy of the
Spear of Longinus and is completely loyal to whomever commands it. The Production Units are internally powered, negating the use of the power cables found on other Eva units and have an astounding rate at which they can heal themselves.
The units are delivered into a combat zone via modified versions of the same aircraft that carries
Eva Unit 1 several times.
At the time of the movie, there appear to be 9 of these units active.
