The eva units are indeed very scrunkly, they’re the only mechs I can actually plausibly see doing a full blown sprint. It just feels like most gundams are just men in armor and not machines

I see what you mean, but most of the gundam mecha move with thrusters so they have very rocket-inspired motifs, but what you're looking for are more "cursorial" motifs, most gundam are weapons platforms while Gundam like zok and z'gok are weapons in of themselves.
The gundam are designed around their pilots, the heroes are blocky and metallic, shielding them against more predatory designs, whereas the EVA mecha are supposed to seem like the drivers are losing their minds, akin to a werewolf transformation. Hence why gundam villains are nazi or tiger lookin.
And EVA villains are more like, internal demons and alien monstrosities, more akin to an internal battle of the mind rather than the battle of brawn and will in Gundam.
Think like, gundam is a knight fighting a dragon or hateful fascist, and eva is a tiger fighting to maintain control while a demon is trying to compel it to be evil.
