MS-09F Dom Funf

The MS-09F Dom Funf is a variant of the MS-09B Dom and appears in the Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front video game.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

The Dom Funf was independently developed by Zimmad as an improved model of the Dom following the implementation of the United Maintenance Plan. Due to standardization and compartmentalization, it can be easily modified into different variations.^[1]

Armaments

• Scattering Beam Gun

A chest mounted scattering beam gun. Does little damage to enemy mobile suits but can be used to blind enemy pilots for several seconds.

• Heat Saber

The Dom Funf's 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.

• MMP-80/90mm Ver.8 Machine Gun

An alternative to the 120mm Machine Gun. It used 90mm bullets instead of 120mm type, allowing for a greater firing speed and better penetration capabilities. The machine gun is magazine-fed with 32 rounds per mag.

• 880mmRB-T27 Raketen Bazooka

A new heavy bazooka which features powerful rocket-propelled rounds, and improved targeting sensor with protective cover for aiming. The bazooka is fed by a 5 rounds clips and spare clips can be carried.

• H&L-GB03K/360mm Giant Bazooka

A bazooka for MS that fires rocket-propelled 360mm physical rounds. Liquid fuel supplied through a pipe from the Dom Funf's hand is injected as a primary propellant, and then the projectile's speed is increased by rocket motor ignition. It is fed by a 10 rounds magazine, and a single round can blow the torso off of an enemy mobile suit.

• 120mm Assault Rifle

A new model assault rifle that appears to be an upgrade of the MMP-78 machine gun.

History

As the Dom Funf was developed late in the One Year War, very few units were made and dispatched for combat. One unit was assigned to 2nd Lt. Sophie Fran of the Midnight Fenrir Corp who used it during the final days of the war on Earth. Its versatility served as the basis for subsequently developed Dom models including the MS-09F/trop Dom Tropen and MS-09F/Br Dom Barrage.

Variants

Notes and Trivia

• It was once thought to be the red Dom-type mobile suit seen in the first episode of Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, but later material state that this is YMS-09R-2 Prototype Rick-Dom Zwei. As such, the official status of the Dom Funf is disputable.
• The history of the Dom Funf was extremely complicated. In Entertainment Bible 42 (p. 36), published in 1992, it was stated that the Dom Funf, a Dom variant based on "the Rick Dom and others", was the predecessor of the Dom Tropen. In the 2000 HGUC Dom Tropen manual, it was stated that the Dom Funf was a space combat variant of the Dom deployed near the end of the One Year War, and that it was also assigned to the Gwaden, implying that the Dom seen in 0083 episode 1 was the Dom Funf. However, the reference to the Gwaden was removed in the 2002 Dom Tropen sand brown manual.
  • In the video game Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front, released in 2001, the MS-09F Dom Funf finally made an appearance, with its design based on the Dom seen in 08th MS Team. However, the official website for the game referred to it as "MS-09 Dom" and described it only as "a variant mainly assigned to South East Asia",^[2] casting even more confusion on whether this design was indeed Dom Funf. Despite this, the 2016 SD Gundam G Generation, which featured Zeonic Front, still referred to this design as "Dom Funf".
