Following the successful testing of the Prototype Dom at California Base, Zeon began to mass-produce the MS-09 Dom. The design however had a flaw: it was especially difficult to maintain in certain environments, specifically in Earth's high temperature tropical zones. To attempt to come up with a solution, Zimmad Company converted one of the two Prototype Doms into the Dom Tropical Test Type.

The Dom Tropical Test Type featured a heat dissipation pipe on the head to enhance its heat dissipation capacity, the propulsion engine on the back is also modified for tropical battles, and it is equipped with a large-capacity cooling system. In addition, an antenna for short-range communication has been added to the head. These features helped the mobile suit maintain better combat efficiency in tropical climates.
