After gaining permission from NERV, Studio Khara on Tuesday tweeted out the design sheets of four new Evangelion machines from the new film Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0. Lets hope they're kept away from the Angels!

The first of the designs shown off is a modified version of Mari's Evangelion Production Model Custom Type-08β-ICC from Evangelion 3.0. The new version, codename unconfirmed, seems to have have battle scars and is being held together by tape.

The second helicarrier-based design tweeted out, codenamed "44A", seems to have the infamous Spear of Longinus – or a replica – attached to its heads. The two heads resemble the 4th Angel (in Rebuild of Evangelion, 3rd angel in Neon Genesis Evangelion), Sachiel. The connection between the two is a mystery.

The third design displayed, codenamed "44B", is of two normal Production Unit Evangelion cut in half and connected by a device that resembles a giant version of the 10th Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver from TV show Doctor Who. 

The last design presented via Twitter is of the four legged/tentacled Evangelion codenamed "4444C". This new Production Evangelion has a giant gun attached to his head to inflict the maximum amount of damage possible to the enemy of NERV.
