Webmaster's notes: Yet another ridiculously high preformance mobile suit produced by the United Maintenance Plan for upgrading Zeon mobile suits. In the usual fashion of the UMP, which also produced the Zaku FZ and Gelgoog Jaeger, the Rick Dom II is supposedly a refit, yet seems to be built, externally, at least, with a completely different set of parts than the standard Rick Dom. In any case, the Rick Dom II's new array of fuel gobbling thrusters warrants two propellant tanks extending from its back, which make rather unfortunate targets in combat. The Rick Dom II also gained an upgraded version of the 360mm Giant Bazooka, but lost its heat saber, making the mobile suit rather vulnerable at close range. The Rick Dom II was perhaps the most heavily produced mobile suit of the UMP, but despite high preformance, it was far from perfect.
