Type F
ItemType F, sometimes styled TYPE-F, is a designation that recurs across the Evangelion franchise rather than a single object. Several Evangelion unit configurations from different continuities share the label, alongside a Bandai figure line and an airborne transport rig for the Evangelions themselves.
Overview
The label Type F carries no single fixed meaning in the franchise. Across novels, hobby magazines, games, and merchandise it marks a scattered family of Evangelion variants and related products, so the term functions as a signpost pointing to several distinct entries.
Function
Most uses of the name attach to Evangelion unit configurations. Evangelion Unit-01 Type F debuts in Neon Genesis Evangelions. Two further variants, Evangelion Unit-02 Type F and Evangelion Unit-00 Type F, both originate in Dengeki Hobby Magazine. The Neon Genesis Evangelion: ANIMA novels contribute the Evangelion Unit-00 Type F Allegorica. Separately, the F-Type Equipment for airborne warfare is a gear loadout used to carry Evangelion units through the air.
Notable Users
Beyond the in-fiction machines, the designation also brands merchandise: Neon Genesis Evangelion Characters TYPE-F is a figure line from Bandai Shokugan. Readers looking for a specific Type F should consult the entry matching its continuity, whether the novels, the hobby magazine designs, or the product lines.
