Webmaster's notes: The project to produce a desert climate Dom, which had thrived with the creation of the YMS-09D Dom Tropical Test Type, was reincarnated as a mass produced variant of the MS-09F Dom Feunf. This variant, known as the Dom Tropen, was similar to a standard Dom in most respects, though visual differences included different shoulder armor design and a slightly stockier build. Aside from an all around performace increase from the Dom, the Tropen also mounted a large filtered intake on each leg to take in air without letting sand into the delicate engines. Rather than a 360mm Giant Bazooka, the Dom Tropen carried the unprecedented 880mm Raketen Bazooka, a weapon that's sheer shell size would not be matched during the One Year War. The Dom Tropen also carried a reactor powerful enough to charge a beam rifle, though this weapon was rarely used, probably due to its rarity.
