Shinkalion Z 500 TYPE EVA
ItemShinkalion Z 500 TYPE EVA carries the Evangelion crossover into Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion Z, debuting in the series' 21st episode. Operated by NERV and driven by Shinji Ikari, the transforming bullet train channels Unit-01 down to its A.T. Field and progressive blade weaponry.
Overview
This Shinkalion Z model premieres in "Sortie, Shinkalion Z 500 TYPE EVA", episode 21 of the TV animation Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion Z. NERV runs the machine, its fate after the episode goes unrecorded, and its train mode is once again the 500 TYPE EVA, the shinkansen modeled on Evangelion Unit-01.
Function
More than four train cars lock together into a bipedal combatant 26.5 meters tall and 110 tons in weight. The design quotes Unit-01 throughout, from the helmet-shaped head and neck collar to the purple and green paint broken up with black detailing. Like its Eva namesake it can raise an A.T. Field, and it handles a range of weapons headlined by the Progressive Signal Knife, known in Japanese as the Progressive Shingoto.
