Webmaster's notes: The prototype version of the MS-09 Dom, the YMS-09 was of course a great success in showing off the abilities of Zimmad corporation's hoverjet engines. Though similar to the standard Dom, the prototype was also very unique, displaying a winged Zeon insignia and mounting racks capable of storing the 360mm giant bazooka on its back. Another slight difference was thehe location of the heat saber rack, running horizontally across the rear skirt rather than vertically down the back.
