Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2 The MS-09F/Bn Dom Bein Nichts is a mobile suit that appears in the SD Gundam series of video games.
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. Like the MS-09F/Gb Dom Gross Beil, the Dom Bein Nichts was developed in an attempt to delay or stop the Zeon forces from ordering more MS-14A Gelgoog. However, unlike the ace pilot-use Dom Gross Beil, the Dom Bein Nichts can be used by normal pilots.
As implied by its name, "Bein Nichts", which is German for "No Legs", the primary characteristic of this mobile suit is that its legs have been replaced by large, high mobility thrusters. Due to this change, the Dom Bein Nichts obtained a high level of mobility that is comparable to that of a mobile armor. As the large, high mobility 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 has been extended to the top of the head. The Dom Bein Nichts' cockpit is also relocated to the waist section.
The Dom Bein Nichts is mainly armed with ranged weaponry so that it can support the Dom Gross Beil, which has poor ranged attack capabilities, in battle. Its armament consisted of a Raketen Bazooka as the primary firearm, a chest-mounted Scattering Beam Gun modified to be movable, multiple Sturm Fausts carried on several weapon racks located on the lower body and a Heat Saber for close combat. The weapon racks can carry other weapons instead of the Sturm Fausts if the need arises.
Armaments
- Scattering Beam Gun
- Mounted on the left side of the chest, the scattering beam gun is unable to damage an enemy machine but it does produce a bright light capable of momentarily blinding eyes and visual sensors. Unlike other Dom-type mobile suit, the scattering beam gun of the Dom Bein Nichts is modified to be movable.
- Heat Saber
- Stored on the backpack when not in use, its blade is superheated during use to melt through the armor of an enemy machine.
- 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
This machine was intended to operate as a team with the melee combat-specialized MS-09F/Gb Dom Gross Beil, but the war ended just as its design was on the verge of completion, and therefore its development was halted.
