Also, here's another new tower suggestion for an update (along with Bloonchipper):

-Monkey Bloonist

Description: This monkey, like the Heli Pilot, flies around the screen pursuing all bloons that come by within a large radius (3/2 Bucanneer range) of the reload platform (explained later). The Monkey Bloonist inside will drop bombs on top of the bloons, doing 1 layer of damage (rate of a 0/0 Mortar). However, it will require bloons for fuel, and every so often it will land on the reload platform and make the monkey have to pop bloons like a Dart Monkey until it is ready again (takes 30 seconds to recharge and flies for 50 seconds)! (cost: $425/500/540)


 * Notes: The Dart Monkey, when attacking from the ground, will be upgraded to match the Bloonist's upgrades (e.g. a 2/3 Bloonist will throw like a 2/3 Dart Monkey on the ground), but will not be affected by any Dart Monkey boosts or gain the SMFC Ability.


 * Exposive Mayhem, MIB Call to Arms, Monkey Boost and Overclock will cause the monkey to stay in the air until the ability is over. However, the monkey will drop to the ground if it is supposed to during the ability. The attack timer will still run out during the ability.

Upgrades:

Path 1

Efficient Fuel ($170/200/216)

Increases the fuel efficiency, allowing bloons to lift monkey for 1 minute. This also decreases the cooldown by 5 seconds.

Powerful Fuel ($425/500/540)

Makes the monkey fly for 1 minute and 15 seconds before landing. Cooldown will be further decreased by 5 seconds. Also, the monkey will fly 20% faster.

Premium Gas Extractor ($1700/2000/2160)

The bloon's basket will now be equipped with a powerful gas extraction device that will shreed bloons at the rate of a 0/0 Bloonchipper. Each bloon vaccuumed will result in 1 second of further flying, making the monkey fly forever as long as there are bloons around.

Hot Air Bloon ($2125/2500/2700, free if the user happens to have achieved a 1000 or above score in Hot Air Bloon)

The bloon will now permanently fly around and dish out damage to anything that flies underneath it (3 layers) in addition to the bomb attack. Also, the bombs dropped will deal x5 damage to MOAB-class bloons.

Path 2

Faster Reload ($255/300/324)

The bombs will drop a little bit faster, similar to the x/1 Mortar Tower. This is achieved by the monkey pushing the bombs off hte bloon by shoving them through a hole in the walls.

Big Bombs ($850/1000/1080)

The monkey will drop extra large bombs onto the track that explode with the blast radius of a Missile Launcher and pop 2 layers of bloon.

Automatic Bomb Dropper ($2550/3000/3240)

A powerful machine placed on the bloon will drop bombs extremely fast (at the rate of a Spectre)!

Air Assaulter ($2975/3500/3780)

Explosive Mayhem Ability: Drops cluster bombs 15% faster than usual and do 1 extra layer of damage. Cluster bombs will throw out seconday bombs that stun bloons as well as pop them. Bomb-immune bloons will take damage as well.
