The ''Dominator'' is built with both ten and a half tons of [[Ferro-fibrous]] Armor and [[Endo Steel]] Internal Structure. To mitigate heat buildup, the ''Dominator'' is equipped with eighteen [[double heat sink]]s, allowing the Mech's pilot to continuously fire all of its weapons systems and continue to move at full speed. The ''Dominator's'' pilots also enjoy having the advantage of a hundred-and-fifty-meter jump range. The design team then added a [[supercharger]] to the 'Mech's already agile frame. The supercharger benefits the ''Dominator'' by not directly damaging the 'Mech's leg actuators, unlike [[MASC]]. This new piece of equipment increases the ''Dominator's'' durability while providing the pilot with an extra burst of needed speed. + Despite being a "second line 'Mech", the ''Dominator'''s pilot benefits from all of the progress of Clan Technology.

The ''Dominator'' is equipped with somewhat less weaponry than is normally found on a standard Clan heavy 'Mech. The 'Mech's arsenal begins with a shoulder mounted [[Series 7K]] [[Extended Range Large Laser]] in the its right torso, coupled with an [[Type 22]] [[Extended Range PPC]] mounted in the lower right arm.
