Update History (Bloons TD Battles Mobile)
This ability has always been a good way to defend against a lot of rushes (such as the notorious RRROD), and has become even more reliable thanks to it now being able to deal with Camo Bloons. However because of this it became very hard to try to kill a player if they brought the Boomerang Thrower in their loadout since they could easily place down a 2/4 Boomer and easily destroy any rushes. Overall this upgrade has been buffed as it's better overall at defending rushes compared to the initial release of Bloons TD Battles Mobile.

Trivia

 * In Bloons TD 5 Deluxe, the Boomerang Thrower's Turbo Charge arm is white and blue, while in Bloons TD 5, it is gray like its previous upgrade.
 * The theoretical fastest possible method for glaives to attack combines Jungle Drums and M.I.B. Call to Arms, the Sockets of Power in The Crucible, using the Overclock Ability, as well as Tier 3 Boomerang Dojo and Double Ranga. Practically however, glaives can only throw as fast as every one glaive per frame, limiting the effectiveness of this combination.
 * Just like the Bionic Boomer, Turbo Charge Boomerang Throwers have a bionic arm and a bionic eye, though slightly different from each other.
 * When you use it with Glaive Thrower and M.I.B. Call to Arms, it looks like the Bionic Boomer Boomerang Thrower is throwing glaives in Fast Forward.
 * The description may be a reference to Bloons Tower Defense as it references hypersonic attack speed.
 * The fastest method for glaives to attack combines Jungle Drums and M.I.B. Call to Arms, using the Overclock Ability, this can pop a BFB layer in one second and can also pop about a line of MOABs beautifully.
 * Turbo Charge is one of the few upgrades returning from BTD5 that were formerly visually the same as the preceding upgrades, the others being Super Range, Call to Arms, Long Life Bananas, and Valuable Bananas.
