Gundam IBO Mechanical Profiles - Rodi Frame
« on: November 29, 2020, 06:44:31 AM »

Spinner Rodi
Model number: UGY-R38
Overall height: 18.5m
Base weight: 41.3t
[Season 1]
A mobile suit built on the venerable Rodi Frame, the most widely-produced design originating in the Calamity War. The Rodi Frame had no particular strong or weak points, instead being a very well-rounded design that is easily used and modified. Following the war many of these units have found their way into the hands of civilians, mercenaries, and other private organizations, and parts for Rodi Frame machines are in wide circulation.

The Spinner Rodi is widely available in the private sector, being used for activities ranging from colony defense to large-scale construction projects all over space. To this end, the large pod equipped on its back is intended for precise maneuvering in both space and within the artificial gravity of colonies. While some mercenary units have purchased the Spinner Rodi for use in combat, it is ultimately designed as a worker unit and its performance cannot compare to actual military MS like the Graze.

Armaments:

90mm Rifle/400mm Grenade Launcher: A handheld rifle fed by a large, drum-type magazine. A grenade launcher is mounted underneath the barrel.

Boost Hammer, 2: A two-handed, dual-purpose tool and weapon used in the colonies. In its default state it can be used for both offensive and defensive purposes, favoring repeated strikes. Unfolded, the boost hammer's weight balance changes significantly and favors forceful blows.

Needle Pod: An anchor pod that can be mounted on either leg.



Garm Rodi
Model number: UGY-R45
Overall height: 18.6m
Base weight: 38.2t
[Season 2]
A renovated design brought into service due to humanity's renewed interest in mobile suits. Owing to the versatility of the Rodi Frame, it possesses an excellent balance of defensive strength and mobility. Unlike the Man Rodi that overspecialized in space use, the Garm Rodi can be deployed in a multitude of environments without need for equipment exchange or retrofitting. The Garm Rodi forms the backbone of the pirate organization known as the Dawn Horizon Corps, who are powerful enough to prey on Teiwaz vessels without fear of retaliation. Their squad commander units can be visually identified by a light blue colorscheme and a pronounced head crest.

Armaments:

Rifle: A handheld rifle that is compact and easy to handle. When not in use it can be stored on the rear skirt armoring.

300mm Long Rifle: A Heiphaistos-developed rifle suited for longer-range firefights.

Boost Hammer, 2: A two-handed, dual-purpose tool and weapon used in the colonies. In its default state it can be used for both offensive and defensive purposes, favoring repeated strikes. Unfolded, the boost hammer's weight balance changes significantly and favors forceful blows.

Buster Sword: A large melee weapon favored by pirates. Despite its size the buster sword actually has excellent handling, and can be carried on the rear skirt armoring when not in use.

Hand Grenades: A pair are stored on the Garm Rodi's front skirt armoring.

Shield: Hardpoints allow a shield to be mounted on either shoulder. Dawn Horizon Corps commander units normally equip one on each shoulder.

Man Rodi
Model number: UGY-R41
Overall height: 17.1m
Base weight: 40.6t
[Season 1]

An assault unit built off the Rodi Frame, with armor strength intentionally pushed to the limits of what the frame can bear. As a result it is highly survivable, and its array of thrusters make it surprisingly fast and agile despite its bulky appearance. Since it is only intended for use in space, its legs lack feet in favor of landing gear to reduce cost and complexity. The Man Rodi's only real weakness is its high fuel consumption, resulting in a low operational distance.   

The Man Rodi was originally purchased and operated by the Brewers space pirates, who used them to absorb anti-aircraft fire during raids on merchant convoys so that vessels could be quickly captured and plundered. Its success would eventually see it adopted by other private organizations such as JPT Trust, along with the Brewers' practice of illegally equipping them with Alaya-Vijnana systems utilized by their Human Debris pilots.

Armaments:

Vulcans: Mounted in the head.

90mm Submachine Gun: A lightweight, easy to use machine gun in wide circulation in the outer sphere. The Brewers use it as standard equipment among their MS forces due to its low cost. There's a sliding stock on the rear of the weapon, and it can be stored on the rear skirt armor.

Hammer Chopper: A melee weapon that cuts like a hatchet or bashes as a hammer. A pair of thrusters on the back of the weapon can propel it through the air, or assist in cutting through particularly tough armor. Can be stored on the rear skirt armor.

Gusion Chopper: A small hatchet with a pair of built in thrusters to enhance impact force. When not in use it can be stored on the rear skirt armor.

Hand Grenades: Stored in racks under the hip armoring.

Wire Hooks: Built into the arms. They can be used as anchors or to restrain enemy units.



Landman Rodi
Model number: UGY-R41
Overall height: 17.0m
Base weight: 40.2t
[Season 2]
While expanding their MS forces, the Tekkadan repaired and retrofitted several of the Man Rodis they had previously captured from Brewers. A new pair of legs enable them to operate both on land and in space, with their Alaya-Vijnana systems allowing pilots to squeeze out every last drop of mobility even within gravity. The Landman Rodi was initially used as a stopgap unit by the Tekkadan's Earth Branch until they could receive their allotment of the new Shiden units, but several of the organization's prominent ex-Human Debris pilots elected to use the remaining machines in honor of fallen friends.

Armaments:

Vulcans: Mounted in the head.

90mm Submachine Gun: A lightweight, easy to use machine gun in wide circulation in the outer sphere. There's a sliding stock on the rear of the weapon, and it can be stored on the rear skirt armor.

Hammer Chopper: A melee weapon that cuts like a hatchet or bashes as a hammer. A pair of thrusters on the back of the weapon can propel it through the air, or assist in cutting through particularly tough armor. Can be stored on the rear skirt armor.

Hand Grenades: Stored in racks under the hip armoring.

Wire Hooks: Built into the arms. They can be used as anchors or to restrain enemy units.



Hakuri Rodi
Model number: UGY-R41/H
Overall height: 17.6m (Sampo's), 17.3m (Yuhana's)
Base weight: 38.6t
[Gekko]
A pair of modified Man Rodis operated by the mercenary Hakuri siblings. They were salvaged from the shoal zone where the Brewers were defeated by the Tekkadan, their heavily damaged head and torso parts subsequently replaced. This both lightened their weight and improved their mobility, and the Alaya-Vijnana systems used by Brewers have been removed. Sampo's machine has blue markings, while Yuhana's are yellow.

Armaments:

90mm Submachine Gun: A lightweight, easy to use machine gun in wide circulation in the outer sphere. There's a sliding stock on the rear of the weapon, and it can be stored on the rear skirt armor.

Gusion Chopper: A small hatchet with a pair of built in thrusters to enhance impact force. When not in use it can be stored on the rear skirt armor. Used by Sampo's machine.

Gusion Axe, 2: A long-handled axe with a spiked hammer mounted on the head of the shaft. The hammer is actually attached by a chain and can be extended to serve as a morning star, giving it a deceptively long reach. Used by Yuhana's machine.

Hand Grenades: Stored in racks under the hip armoring. They can be used as anchors or to restrain enemy units.

Wire Hooks: Built into the arms. They can be used as anchors or to restrain enemy units.



Labrys
Model number: UGY-R41/T2C
Overall height: 19.5m
Base weight: 40.1t
[Gekko]
A custom model of the versatile Rodi Frame employed by Tanto Tempo. The Labrys features heavily reinforced armor and its cylindrical head is equipped with an enhanced sensor array. It uses the same model of high-quality legs as the Landman Rodi, making it operable both on the ground and in space. The Labrys is primarily used for escorting and protecting VIPs, such as accompanying Gianmarco's Kallisto in combat against local Gjallarhorn forces and the Gundam Astaroth.

Armaments:

90mm Submachine Gun: A lightweight, easy to use machine gun in wide circulation in the outer sphere. There's a sliding stock on the rear of the weapon, and it can be stored on the rear skirt armor.

Hammer Chopper: A melee weapon that cuts like a hatchet or bashes as a hammer. A pair of thrusters on the back of the weapon can propel it through the air, or assist in cutting through particularly tough armor. Can be stored on the rear skirt armor.

Hand Grenades: Stored in racks under the hip armoring.

Wire Hooks: Built into the arms. They can be used as anchors or to restrain enemy units.
