The MS-09F/Bn Dom Bein Nichts is a mobile suit introduced in SD Gundam G Generation: Gather Beat.
Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
A high mobility, space-use, Dom-type mobile suit, conflicting sources have listed the Dom Bein Nichts as either a variant of the MS-09R Rick Dom or the MS-09F Dom Funf. As implied by its name, "Bein Nichts", which is German for "No Legs", the primary characteristic of this machine is its legs are replaced by large, high mobility thrusters, which provide it with a high level of mobility comparable to that of a mobile armor. These thrusters are attached to the main body via a twin spar-type frame to withstand the massive torque. Additionally, as the thrusters are mounted at an angle, the Dom Bein Nichts tends to tilt forward when moving and because of this, the movement range of its head-mounted mono-eye is extended to the top of the head. Its cockpit is also relocated to the waist section.
The Dom Bein Nichts' armament consisted of a Raketen Bazooka as the primary firearm, a chest-mounted Scattering Beam Gun modified to be movable, Sturm Fausts carried on several weapon racks located on the lower body and a Heat Saber for close combat. While Sturm Fausts are the main weapon carried on the weapon racks, they can be replaced by various other weapons depending on the battle situation. The Dom Bein Nichts is mainly armed with ranged weaponry so that it can support the MS-09F/Gb Dom Gross Beil, which has poor ranged attack capabilities. Both mobile suits are designed at the same time and born from the same development plan, but unlike the ace pilot-use Dom Gross Beil, the Dom Bein Nichts can be used by normal pilots.
Armaments[]
- Scattering Beam Gun
- A beam weapon mounted in the left side of the Dom Bein Nichts' chest. Although the scattering beam gun is incapable of damaging an enemy machine, it does produce a bright light that can momentarily blind eyes and visual sensors. Unlike other Dom-type MS, the scattering beam gun of the Dom Bein Nichts is modified to be movable.
- Heat Saber
- The Dom Bein Nichts' main close combat weapon, it uses thermal energy to superheat its blade to melt through the armor of an enemy machine. It has an electrical discharge function and can store high charges via the application of Minovsky particle physics. As the heat saber degrades during use, it is discarded after usage.
- 880mm RB-T27 Raketen Bazooka
- A new heavy bazooka which features powerful rocket-propelled rounds, and improved targeting sensor with protective cover for aiming. It is fed by a 5 rounds magazine.
- A simplified, disposable rocket launcher. As the warhead is not equipped with a guidance device, it is extremely hard to use the Sturm Faust to hit a moving target accurately. However, it is still a highly destructive portable weapon. The Dom Bein Nichts can carry multiple Sturm Fausts on the weapon racks located on its lower body.
History[]
During the One Year War, as the Zimmad began working on a new mobile suit development plan, it got wind that Principality of Zeon was going to order more Gelgoogs. In an attempt to delay or stop the order for more Gelgoogs, Zimmad revised the development plan to ensure it would surpass the Gelgoog's performance and this resulted in the creation of two mobile suits: the MS-09F/Gb Dom Gross Beil and the MS-09F/Bn Dom Bein Nichts. Unfortunately, the time taken for the revisions resulted in a delay for the two mobile suit's development and manufacture. This proved to be fatal for both machines as the war ended just as their design was on the verge of completion. Thus, both Dom Bein Nichts and Dom Gross Beil were never produced.
