  Evangelion (mecha) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the anime/manga series Neon Genesis Evangelion, Evangelions, or simply Evas, are the mechas piloted by Shinji Ikari, Rei Ayanami, Asuka Langley Soryu, and the other children.
They are not simply mechanical giant robots, but are biomechanical and cybernetic with many biological components co-existing with a substantial mechanical infrastructure.
Their physical build is different from previous Evas, being narrower in the chest and shoulders and wider in the hips, but the greatest difference is in the head: Rather than humanoid, it is streamlined and vaguely cetacean in appearance, and apparently covered by the same reinforced plastic that coats the arms.

 Anime on DVD: Neon Genesis Evangelion
Evangelion has become the standard by which all future giant robot anime will be compared to.

 The Official Evarena Website
The player becomes the pilot of an Evangelion giant robot and must compete for supremacy against other Evas (over the Internet or against “Bots”) in the traditional DeathMatch manner, with the exception that the Evas possess some special powers that make the game distinct from the original Unreal gameplay.
The word “Evarena” is a contraction of the words Evangelion and Arena and describes quite well the overall concept of the game which is a DeathMatch between Eva robots within a limited environment.
The objective NERV is after is to prevent the arrival of the Third Impact, while the commander of NERV (the father of one of the pilots) has his own agenda and tries to use the Evas for his own selfish reasons, the instrumentality of the entire human race.
