Yes, instamonkeys are present in BTD6. They are similar to free towers/monkeys in BTD5, but they are much better:
 * You are not forced to use the free monkeys, i.e. you have for example a free Super Monkey, but can still buy a Super Monkey in the game and save the free one for a different game, if you have a lot of cash.
 * Instamonkey can be already upgraded, so you can have for example 2-0-3 Super Monkey in your inventory, so you place it with all these upgrades instead of just 0-0-0.
