Evangelion

In the anime/manga series Neon Genesis Evangelion, Evangelions, or simply Evas, are the mechas piloted by the children chosen by NERV. more...

They are not simply mechanical giant robots, but are biomechanical and cybernetic with many biological components co-existing with a substantial mechanical infrastructure. Their flesh is rarely seen, however, since they are covered in flexible polymer sheeting, armor plating, and restraints. They are humanoid figures several stories in height, with fearsome, beast-like masks. The Evas were created by NERV for the apparent purpose of defending Tokyo-3.

The height of the Evangelion units, as shown in the first 24 episodes of the anime, is about 40 meters. This can be seen by large numbers of clues: size of hands compared to people, footprint size of Sachiel, relative sizes for entry plugs, and comparisons to buildings, weapons, and vehicles, including destroyers and helicopters. In some scenes they may appear larger for dramatic effect. In addition to their size, they are capable of superhuman movement, able to easily leap their own height and jump hundreds of meters from one spot to another. To power their massive frames through these actions, they utilize batteries, a power cord (called an umbilical cable), or (later in the series) an S² engine (for Unit 01 and the Mass Production units). Their power requirements plausibly run as high as 200 Megawatts - the engine output capacity of an aircraft carrier. Their internal batteries carry only a minute's charge at full use, five minutes at low power, or sixteen hours of life support. Auxiliary batteries can be attached to extend a unit's unplugged endurance.
