THERE IS NONE!

for EVA, yes... lots of things don't have answers because the creators didn't think that deeply about them.

for the universe, however... not so fast!

:grin: lol ok, so i guess its mostly artistic merit. I realize that most things in the Eva world aren't realistic, but they at least make sence within that word. I remembered the ships in the LCL lake in the Terminal Dogma, and i guess theoretically those ships could have been used to "guard" the lance and lilith in an extreme emergency, or during the construction of the geo front.

With their super-advanced technology. In the vein of "Man creates God in his own image" ("Man", "his", ahahahaha...), the FAR could have used themselves as the Seed's "mortal antecedents" and proceeded with their own fancy form of bioengineering. See, that wasn't so hard.

The destroyer is there so that Eva-02 can throw it in EoE.

It's there so it can combine with an eva and some other vehicles to create:

Ultra Eva Mega Zord!

-Gendo's final silenced line to Ritsuko was "I'm going to shoot you now."
-Nagisa Kaworu kills a kitten every time you masturbate.
-Kaji's first and last name was Kaji

In some other show I could totally see the destroyer, one of those stealth transports, a couple of the verti-jets a and a pair of tanks forming some boxy looking vaguelly humanoid contraption only slightly more interesting then jet alone.

Useless. All it does is give Unit-02 a turtle shell.

Poor? I'd say lucky.

He's a SEELE agent after all so he's a bad guy which kinda makes him deserve to die, but having the privilege to be stomped upon by one of the majestic Mass Produced Evas?

Having the honor to die by the foot of a God?

That lucky bastard.

Lol, I'm talking BS of course. But it's kinda funny to see that SEELE don't give a shit about collateral damage. "You just some goon we hired, your life ain't worth shit!"

That's not exactly goons they have hired, they're actually JSSDF shock troopers sent by the Japanese government manipulated by SEELE.

And SEELE never gave a shit about collateral damage, since for them everyone who died will still be recuperated by Lilith once Instrumentality starts, killing of half of the planetary population 15 years ago to start their prophecy should have already convinced you of that!

Guy was actually JSSDF soldier on heroic mission to "stop NERV from annihilating humanity". SEELE tricked Japanese Government into doing their dirty work.
