Am I the only one who thinks that the scene of Unit 1 sprouting wings / cracks in the opening credits looks badass?

I know that we see a different type of wings of light during instrumentality, but does anyone know if there is any further information on the wings here, which almost look like cracks, in this scene, whether it is taken from / taken further in any of the other media, or whether it was just a scene purely done to make for a snappy opening credits?
