The Mass Production Evangelions also seem to have a role within opening Lilith's Doors of Guf. This begins to cause Shinji Ikari to lose his ego boundary. Shortly after merging, the Mass Production Evas spawn growths from their mouths covered in faces of Rei. The Mass Production Evas begin by activating their S² Engines, and "merging" with the awakened Lilith. In Episode 26', they play a role in performing the ritual of Third Impact and in enacting the Human Instrumentality Project. However, their sustained injuries do not prevent them from assisting in the initiation of Third Impact, likely due to their possession of S² Engines. Following deployment, they use their wings to glide down towards Eva-02.ĭuring their operation, each of the Mass Production Evangelions engages in combat with, and is wounded severely by Asuka in Eva-02. The Mass Production Evangelions are first deployed individually using an aircraft, similar to the one used to deploy Eva-01 in Episode 07. The nine completed Mass Production Evangelions are ordered to deploy by Seele in Episode 25', in order to neutralize Evangelion Unit-02. The Mass Production Evangelions in free-flight, circling Eva-02 They carry no armament except for replicas of the Spear of Longinus, colored blue-gray and initially disguised as giant, gray swords (" ooken"). Eva-02 did not succeed in destroying the cores of any of the attacking Evas in its final battle, which resulted in their revival and Eva-02's subsequent demise. Mass Production Evangelions, like all other Evangelions, truly die only if their cores are destroyed. This presumably allows for a greater degree of control over the Evangelions than with a living pilot, who would be susceptible to sympathetic pain and emotions such as panic, fear, or rage which would impair the Evas' combat ability. Rather than being controlled by living pilots, they synchronize with dummy systems generated from Kaworu Nagisa's thought patterns. The Evas are observed levitating in a manner similar to flight-capable Angels (such as Ramiel and Zeruel) later on, with their wings spread but serving no apparent function. Considering the Evas' size and weight, traditional powered flight (as observed in birds, bats, and pterosaurs) would normally be impossible, so the wings would feasibly be used in concert with A.T. They also possess large, fully retractable, mechanical wings (with an extended "tail" piece), attached to their shoulders. However, unlike Angels, they do not utilize their organs for regenerative purposes (even though they theoretically could). The MP Evangelions have all been furnished with S² Engines, eliminating the need for umbilical cables or internal batteries. This is slightly confusing, since the "Eva Series" technically encompasses every Evangelion ever made. Within the series itself, these Evas are referred to almost exclusively as the "Eva Series" (エヴァシリーズ). The nine are deployed as part of Seele's assault on the Nerv HQ Geofront, but their primary function is to carry out Seele's version of Third Impact, which ends up utilizing Evangelion Unit-01. However, Seele had to advance the construction schedule for them, as they wanted to initiate Third Impact as soon as the final Angel was destroyed, and, as a result, three units were never completed. Nine MP Evangelions were created out of an originally planned twelve Evangelions (through Eva-16). They were manufactured in secrecy under Seele's mandate at seven different facilities around the world, including ones in Germany and China. The Mass Production Evangelions (エヴァンゲリオン量産機, Evangerion Ryousanki) are the final Eva units to be produced.
