Evangelion Custom Type-08, Unit-08 or Eva-08 is a new special Eva designed for the newly arrived Mari.

## Origin

It has the same basic shape as other production Evangelion models, mostly pink with white trim and some yellow details. However, its user-defined type status leads to some notable differences. The unit's helmet is equipped with three horns pointing slightly backwards, with eight separate neon green eyes located at the front. It was originally created on the basis of Mari's past mechas - 04 and 05.

## Abilities

The actual extent of its capabilities is unknown. It is believed to be compatible with support weapons such as the sniper rifle. But still, it has about the same weapons as other Evas.

### A.T. field

Like angels, other models have special protection - A.T. field, which is a special kind of shields. It can be either in the form of an invisible field or a coating on the robot's body.

### Evangelion weapons

The Evangelion carries many types of futuristic weapons, including weapons capable of destroying a target at the molecular level by generating high-frequency vibrations.

* Progressive Knife - A knife capable of causing damage at the molecular level due to the generation of high-frequency vibrations.

* Positron Sniper Rifle - A rifle that fires a concentrated beam of energy that consumes all of Japan's electricity. Despite being one of the few weapons capable of penetrating an angel's AT field or even killing an angel, it has one serious drawback - the rifle's effectiveness decreases in proportion to the distance of the enemy target.

* Pallet Gun - The most commonly used weapon. Despite frequent use, only one Angel was killed with this weapon - the 9th, the spidery Matoriel.

* Pistol - Fires bursts of 3 rounds.

* Sniper Rifle - A standard rifle that fires regular bullets.

* Portable revolving machine gun EM-226 Evangelion (or just a Gatling machine gun) - Massive gun. When fired from this weapon, a huge number of shells are dropped, crushing several vehicles on the ground. However, it does no visible damage to the Angel or Klaxosaur.

### Unit-08β

It is believed to be compatible with support weapons such as a pistol or sniper rifle. It also uses a portable battery system similar to the Unit-02γ in addition to the connection cable.

### Unit-08γ

One of the most notable pieces of equipment used by Unit-08γ is the IRUL specification Eva-08γ production model. (Specification of an impromptu reinforced upper limb). They serve as armrests for the device to protect and strengthen the arms.

Unit-08γ also has overlap compatibility, allowing it to overlap with other Evangelion units. When active, the unit shares many traits of berserker units, as its eyes glow red and its jaw is open, revealing the unit's mouth. In addition, the facial armor also opens, revealing the squad's face.

Lastly, the unit is equipped with a Dragon Carrier, a sort of backpack that holds a wide variety of melee and ranged weapons stored in these containers, just like on a train. The weapons stored in the set include a relatively small curved blade, a pallet rifle with a progressive knife attached like a bayonet, a buzz saw at each end with the ability to split into two halves, and a whip with a bright pink glowing beam at the end. It has a sticker that says Hakone Express.

After first defeating Rei-Lilith and Gendo Ikari, the Unit gained a new ability and can now be called Evangelion Unit-08 + 09 + 10 + 11 + 12 due to other Evas absorbed.
