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 Funf 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. Unlike the Rick Dom II, the Dom Funf is essentially an upgraded Dom: equally at home in either space or land, though it still requires the obvious change of engine components to switch between the two.

The Dom Funf's primary armament is the gigantic Rateken Bazooka. It is easily capable of KO'ing even a Gundam-class mobile suit with only one or two hits, and is also quite effective against large targets (e.g. land battleships). The Funf retains the older Dom's MMP-80 and heat saber as backup weaponry.

Further enhancing its ground combat capabilities, the Dom Funf is also able to be modified for combat in arid theatres. This modification, called the Dom Tropen, greatly enhances its versatility.

 

MMP-80 90mm machinegun. A smaller, faster-firing weapon than the older ZMP-50D intended for combat at shorter range against mobile suits.

880mm Rateken Bazooka. An extrodinarily powerful rocket launcher, easily capable of knocking out just about anything in a single shot. Its warheads carry a huge shaped charge; it's likely that even Luna Titanium would be unable to withstand the incredable explosive force of this weapon. Conversely, its warheads are relatively slow-moving in comparison to other rocket launchers, so it isn't entirely without fault.

Heat saber. Modeled after Federal beam sabers, its construction is relatively similar to most other Zeon superheated weaponry.
Dom Tropen. The Dom Funf can be easily modifed into a desert-capable mobile suit via the attachment of large sand filters and intake pipes over its jet engines, as well as additional coolant systems and radiators over its other joints. These are sometimes painted in brown camouflage colors.
