MS-09R-2 Rick Dom II

The MS-09R-2 Rick Dom II is an advanced mobile suit developed by the Principality of Zeon during the later stages of the One Year War. It is an upgraded version of the MS-09R Rick Dom, designed specifically to enhance its capabilities in space combat. The Rick Dom II featured a more streamlined armor structure, which allowed for the installation of a more powerful generator and higher-output thrusters, improving its mobility and performance in the harsh conditions of space.

Equipped with a scattering beam gun, the Rick Dom II could fire powerful beams at close range, as well as use its heat saber for close combat, capable of melting through enemy armor. Additionally, it was armed with a giant bazooka, redesigned for greater attack power, and the Sturm Faust, a disposable rocket launcher for close-range engagements. The suit’s armament made it highly versatile, suitable for both direct combat and anti-ship operations. The Rick Dom II also featured external propellant tanks that extended its operational time in space, making it a more effective and long-lasting unit.

Despite its late introduction, the Rick Dom II played a key role in several important battles, including skirmishes against the Earth Federation Forces. It was also involved in the Delaz Fleet’s operations during the Delaz Conflict in UC 0083, including the infamous colony drop on Earth. The Rick Dom II’s combination of high mobility, powerful weaponry, and adaptability made it a formidable presence in the final phase of the One Year War.
