The UGY-R38 Spinner Rodi was a general purpose mobile suit constructed on the Rodi Frame. Spinner Rodis were used for civilian purposes, including colony construction and other work. The Spinner Rodi featured a large backpack with multiple thrusters for maneuvering inside a colony or in space. It was also equipped with 4-tube anchor pods on each of its legs. The Spinner Rodi could be armed for combat and carried a rifle with a built-in grenade launcher and a boost hammer. In P.D. 323, Dort Company workers organized into an armed rebellion in the Dort colonies to protest their mistreatment by the company. However, having anticipated the uprising, Gjallarhorn preemptively sabotaged the workers’ seized Spinner Rodis by removing most of their fuel and making their rifles nonfunctional. This made the Spinner Rodis easy targets for a one-sided slaughter, until Tekkadan intervened in the battle.
