Finally someone who recognized a Dom isn't an acrobat. It's basically a hover tank in mobile suit form and the body is just a turret that turns to aim the weapons.
@@kidrobot. The doms agility was in it's leg boosters and using it to strafe in many directions to avoid gunfire. I don't think you've watched uc gundam series to know how doms manuever.
@@kidrobot. well duh, it was fast cuz of it's large feet thrusters it never really was flashy or did any maneuvers that required a ton of leg or arm movement besides swiping with the heat rod.
The Dom Tropen is basically a Rambo Dom. All he needs now is to holster the machine gun and grab the biggest gattling cannon to use with his uh... I think it's a Raktan/Rakatan Bazooka. Got the name from a game.
And you can make the Dom Funf that appears at the beggining of stardust memory by just doing so simple things like removing those sand filters of the legs and a paint job.
That’s a prototype Rick Dom Zwei. The Dom Funf is basically a green 08th MS Team model Dom. gundam.fandom.com/wiki/YMS-09R-2_Prototype_Rick-Dom_Zwei gundam.fandom.com/wiki/MS-09F_Dom_Funf
On MSG BO2 there are a TON of com variants and I always moved how packed they were well some were understocked in terms of Arsenal but man they are so AWESOME
I have the standard purple version, and I was always wondering why there was a peg on the back of the pelvis with no part to connect to it. Turns out that it doesn't have the rear skirt thruster that the sand brown has. Also, the purple should have been equipped with two Sturm Fausts, as they were used to blow up a GM in episode 2 of the OVA.
the dom is a strange but endearing design. the legs look silly UNLESS you understand why they look like that. in witch case its actually kind of bad ass, 6 thermal nuclear jets in each leg/foot is nothing to joke about lol
I bought both and you're also missing the back under skirt boosters to the purple Dom Tropen on top of all the accessories you don't get. Buy two sand brown versions and paint one if you really want the other Dom color scene.
Are the pegs on the ammo and sturmfausts the right size to fit on the Zaku II F2's skirts? That would make for a seriously tacticool Zaku, especially those machinegun bandoliers.
On my F2 I put the ammo drum and grenade on the left side skirt using just a little bit of extra thin cement. Super glue could probably do it too if you didn't want to make it permanent but it looks really cool adding little things like that and I definitely recommend doing it without hesitation. If you haven't done it yet then you should stop hesitating it's been a year dammit
Thanks for the review, not a ton up for the Dom Tropen. I see it has a similar philosophy as the Kampfer. Go in, makes stuff explode, and get out if you can. If you can't, take some Feddies with you.
Though warning it's really difficult to get all 4 strum faust on the back as the side skirts and back skirt are all seperate pieces and don't connect well at all..
@@iqbalsk8s Yeah, the sturm fausts are a bit of an issue. I just use two for my Dom’s loadout, with other hard points being magazines for the bazooka and machine gun. In the end, it’s still armed to the teeth.
Every I review I check out mentions how this kit is 'dated.' And there is a more recently 'Unicorn' version available, but it's much more expensive from the sources I've seen. I just bought one, and I am expecting it'll look nice next to my Zaku II and Gouf Custom. No dynamic poses needed.
I personally prefer the out-of-box plastic colors of the Torrington Base purple and red Dom Tropen, but having bought that one instead, I was really disappointed that it came with no MMP-80 or holders for the Sturm Fausts. The exclusion of those accessories was seriously shitty on Bandai's part.
Most Gunpla from after the 80s are snap fit. You could assemble this with just a pair of nippers if you don’t care how it looks. Hell, I remember putting together some kits when I was younger by just punching parts off the sprues with my fingers.
+Hiruma Berserker Raketen Bazooka, yeah. It is a shout out to the 88mm Panzershreck bazooka used by Germans in WW II. (Notice a certain stylistic flair to the Zeon stuff that begins to show up in the Nineties? ;)
+RacerM53 No glue and painting is required (unless you buy the *really* old pre 1990 kits) In my reviews nothing is painted except for the panel lines, which are done with a fine tip Gundam Marker.
I highly recommend getting the HGUC 1/144 RX-78-2 REVIVE Version or 30th Anniversary Version if you are new. It's very very simple and looks great straight out of the box.
@@hyperiongm330 A Robot Damashii exists of the Xamel now, which is normally approximately 1/144. It’s a web exclusive, though, so you’re going to have to shell out for it.
2:25 I love you bro but the way you handle your kits makes me cringe... You are so rough with them! You got to be gentle like it's a baby or a girl or a girl baby... At least you don't throw you are kits off of the roof like another person who I do not like because he clearly doesn't love his property. I can at least tell that you love your kits

idk it was pretty agile in the anime

@@dredgewalker i know you dont know about bandai model kits
@@kidrobot. well duh, it was fast cuz of it's large feet thrusters it never really was flashy or did any maneuvers that required a ton of leg or arm movement besides swiping with the heat rod.
That is the most tacticool dom I've ever seen.
There should be more mobile suits like it.
+Kyle Morgan you'd probably dig the Kampfer, the Astrae F2, and the GM Sniper K9. Lots of mounted weaponry options, tons of firepower
Arrowdodger I've got all but the Kampfer. Tragically, my Astrea was missing its left holding hand, and the K9 just felt kinda disappointing.
Wait till you see the psycho zaku
One can't really go wrong with Dom and as far as color scheme and accessories go this one is king of HGUC Doms.

Really love this kit. Almost makes me wanna customize it into a Sleeves version from Unicorn
Oni Armoury just make the eye red and the Sand and brown a slightly more blanched look.
Who needs articulation when you have artillery.
I really wish the mono eye moved. Then it would be a pretty good kit for its age imo
two shades of gray sounds like a much less interesting successor.
Thanks for this review I ended up buying this version of DOM. I'm so happy with the decision.

Just ordered one of these can't wait!

it's fairly rare now a days for hg to come with actual wotking clips
i never remember owning this kit, but for some reason, i have its foot in my house.
BROWN Dom. In Gundam.

Im gonma turn all the blue to black. The backpack too. And some around the shoulders
I've been begging my parents for that model for months

This model is 16 years old!
And it’s still pretty solid. You don’t really need much articulation from a Dom, and it comes with shitloads of accessories.
My first kit!
The dom is just the basilisk from cyberpunk but with legs and arms XD
i like having not alot of stickers cause i always hate those really small stickers
Thanks for the review, not a ton up for the Dom Tropen. I see it has a similar philosophy as the Kampfer. Go in, makes stuff explode, and get out if you can. If you can't, take some Feddies with you.
That's the whole Dom line in a nutshell, only these things can take hits.
Kyle Morgan
those hover legs of theirs really help make them a force to reckon with
+Arrowdodger The fastest first gen mobile suits around.
isn't that a racketen bazooka instead of the giant bz?
Just started building it today 😃
Though warning it's really difficult to get all 4 strum faust on the back as the side skirts and back skirt are all seperate pieces and don't connect well at all..
@@iqbalsk8s Yeah, the sturm fausts are a bit of an issue. I just use two for my Dom’s loadout, with other hard points being magazines for the bazooka and machine gun. In the end, it’s still armed to the teeth.
I am glad there's a robot spirits version

I just bought one, and I am expecting it'll look nice next to my Zaku II and Gouf Custom. No dynamic poses needed.
It's not an "ammo clip", it's a magazine.

the removable clip is now only in MG and HG Zaku machine guns (not even a good looking clip with a huge hollow beneath) what a shame
Easily my favourite Dom as well
I lost the panzerfaust for my zaku 1. Fortunately i just learned from you i can get 4 for the price of one. :D
also, can u use the raketen bazooka on the zaku f 2, like in zeonic front for the ps 2, cause I'm gonna soon get 2 tropens both in the desert coler
+BaNaNa_ MaN_808 I am pretty sure it could hold it, but I am not positive
+BaNaNa_ MaN_808 Amazing profile pic dude
All the articulation went to the weapons...
Vo Mabulay great comet
Man you reminded me that I should also work on mine hahaha
Putting the sturmfaust on the back is a fucking nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi is this kit snapfit type? As in no need glue? Looks great!
william chiok Yeah no glue needed. Just nippers and an exacto knife.
Most Gunpla from after the 80s are snap fit. You could assemble this with just a pair of nippers if you don’t care how it looks. Hell, I remember putting together some kits when I was younger by just punching parts off the sprues with my fingers.
I have both of them.
I wonder if bandai could do a custom build line ( like model: dom
weapons: zaku machine gun
color:red, dark brown, cream
That’s supposed to be the job of the builder.
Is there a way to chance the red face plate?
I've heard Dom-Tropen pronounced Dom-TroFen.
Also: is there a HGUC Dwadge kit?
Are you going to make a video history on the dom.
what the best Dom kit I should start?
Isn't that Giant Bazooka the "Rakuten Baz"?
+Hiruma Berserker Yep. 880mm Raketen Bazooka. Probably German or something.
+Kyle Morgan I like how Zeon is basically, "Germany made a 800mm railway gun, we'll make a 880mm BAZOOKA for a mobile suit".
+HyperionGM Zeon is basically space Nazis.
+Hiruma Berserker Raketen Bazooka, yeah. It is a shout out to the 88mm Panzershreck bazooka used by Germans in WW II. (Notice a certain stylistic flair to the Zeon stuff that begins to show up in the Nineties? ;)
+Observations from the Bunker Yeah, lots of German inspired weaponry. Especially with the Zaku FZ.
How much well that be on dollars?
I hope to see MG V2.
Bro, it's been out for a while now.
Y do the stum faust remind me of the panzerfaust
new to gundam do these kits require any glue or paint?
+RacerM53 No glue and painting is required (unless you buy the *really* old pre 1990 kits)

Bought it!
just get 2 more and a xamel and u are ready for the feddies
+BaNaNa_ MaN_808 Xamel never got a 1/144 did it? Kakarot would probably know better than me on this
+HyperionGM There's an MSIA figure, but it's rare.
+Kyle Morgan that's the only downside, but it would be huge if they gave it a hg kit
+BaNaNa_ MaN_808 There was a resin 1/144 kit out there back in the day. Including the extended gun barrel it was about two feet long...
@@hyperiongm330 A Robot Damashii exists of the Xamel now, which is normally approximately 1/144. It’s a web exclusive, though, so you’re going to have to shell out for it.
Siege zeon
+pioltjose23 As a person who leans more twords the federation, I agree we should siege zeon before the war can go on any longer.
