The YMS-09 Prototype Dom is a mobile suit from the design series Mobile Suit Variation. It is piloted by Frederick Cranberry.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

The Prototype Dom was developed by the Zimmad Company based on data from the MS-07C-5 Gouf Test Prototype, with an example being its legs incorporating thruster technology developed through the Gouf Test Prototype. The YMS-08A High Mobility Test Type, a previous lightweight and highly mobile prototype unit, was discontinued because it failed to meet the expectations of Zimmand's senior executives as well as that of the Zeon forces, so the Prototype Dom was given the model number YMS-09. Initially, a hovercraft-type propulsion system was planned, but in the end, a combination of thermonuclear jet engines and rockets was adopted, which solved the problems of slow movement speed and joint strain. Both sides of the backpack have hardpoints to which a setter for a giant bazooka can be attached, and a short-range communication unit can also be mounted.

Armaments[]

  • Heat Saber
The Prototype Dom'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. Mounted on the backpack when not in use.
  • 360mm Giant Bazooka
A bazooka for MS that fires rocket-propelled 360mm physical rounds. Liquid fuel supplied through a pipe from the Prototype Dom'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.
  • H&L-SB25K/280mmA-P Zaku Bazooka
A portable, physical projectile-type firearm. It is primarily for anti-ship combat and displays its power in hit and run attacks. It can also be used against enemy mobile suits, but it is harder to hit a constantly moving target.

History[]

Two Prototype Doms were constructed at Zimmad's facilities in Side 3 and were shipped to Zeon's California Base for testing. After the designs were field tested, the Prototype Dom was deemed to be a resounding success and the Principality of Zeon immediately ordered the unit to be mass-produced as the MS-09B Dom.

During the events in Mobile Suit Gundam Zeonic Front: Indignation of Zeon animation, a lone Prototype Dom unit was seen guarding Zeon's Odessa base in Eastern Europe.
