F-Type equipment appears in the video game Neon Genesis Evangelion 2, as well as Super Robot Wars Alpha 3. This heavy-armored equipment is actually in direct conflict with the Evangelion's nature.
The new shoulder pylons each contains a 'rogressive Dagger,' an improved Progressive Knife which is even bigger and longer. Each shoulder is also equipped with an electrical beam like launcher named 'Volt Launcher' or 'Impact Bolt,' an anti-phase weapon with, along with devastating power, the ability to temporarily paralyze an enemy.

In addition to these, the extra weapons included with F-Type equipment includes:

* 'Dual Saw': A hand-held dual chainsaw.
* 'Mastema' : An all-range weapon, the Mastema is a lightweight multi-weapon that includes a large-bore machine cannon, edges that can be used for slashing (Progressive Sword) and two cruise missiles with built-in N² warheads, making this a weapon of choice for both close-range and distance combat.

In the episode featuring Jet Alone in the TV series, Unit 01 was referenced as being deployed using the F-Type Equipment, although it looks no different from the standard armor in this appearance. Closer inspection would reveal that Unit 01 has larger than usual shoulder packs. It can be assumed that the F-Type Equipment, apart from other uses, offers the units the ability to operate without the need of being connected via cable for longer periods.
There was a model kit made of Eva 01 in F-type armor, as well as a revoltech figure. To see more there are also a good handful of images of these units on the internet as well as several small figurines of them which can be viewed here:
