Technical and Historical Data Based off reports of strong successes from their MS-09R Rick Doms in the field, Zimmad Corporation continued the further refinement of their Dom series with two new mobile suits: the MS-09R2 Rick Dom II, a heavy assault mobile suit intended exclusively for space combat, and the MS-09F Dom Funf, a universal mobile suit for both space and land combat. The Dom Tropen is a harsh climate use refit of the MS-09F Dom Funf. The Dom Tropen carries with it a number of noticible differences over older Dom designs. Blocky shoulder and knee armor give it a very heavy appearance, as well as large joint armor. The Dom Funfs space use maneuvering thrusters have been largely removed to make way for a number of heat sinks and air filtration systems. Finally, two large sand filtration intake pipes are mounted over its jet engines. These modifications allow the Dom Tropen to operate perfectly in extremely high temperatures and dusty terrain. The Dom Tropens primary armament is the new Mk II Giant Bazooka, designed for taking out tough Federal mobile suits, and even sporting a good track record against Luna Titanium armor. The Funf retains the MMP-80 and heat saber as backup weaponry, and its bulky legs can carry Panzer Fausts, making the Tropen extremely versatile. When the battle takes to space, the Dom Tropen can quickly and painlessly be reconfigured back into its standard Dom Funf modification. However, until these modifications are made, the Dom Tropen cannot operate properly in zero gravity. Image Gallery
