MOAB Mauler

"Special missiles cause 10x damage to MOABS and BFBs"

- BTD4 Description

"M.O.A.B maulers are special missiles that wreak havoc on M.O.A.B-class bloons, inflicting 10x damage."

- BTD5 Description

M.O.A.B. Maulers are missiles that appear in BTD4, Bloons Super Monkey, Bloons TD 4 Expansion, and BTD5 as an upgrade to the Bomb Tower. They are capable of doing 10x damage to MOAB-class bloons, which is where they got their name. It costs $765 on Easy, $900 on Medium and $970 on Hard.

It is the final upgrade to the Bomb Tower in BTD4 and the third upgrade of Path 2 in BTD5. When attacking M.O.A.B.s and B.F.B.s, their power increases tenfold, doing a lot more damage.

They also seen to be more essential in BTD4 than in BTD5 as it is one of the very few methods in attacking MOABs efficiently while in BTD5, there are plenty of other upgrades that are equal to or better than the power of the MOAB Mauler.

Best Strategies
They are not as useful against regular bloons when compared to the other path, which is why it may be helpful to have some towers near them as support to have more pop efficiency. However, with the frag bombs upgrades, it'll be able to pop blacks and zebras with ease. A group of them is also more effective than a single Sun God, Technological Terror or Ray of Doom when it comes to popping MOAB-Class Bloons & a large enough group of them(a very large group to be exact) can outlcass even a maxed Temple of the Monkey God in the same department.

Trivia

 * When there are MOAB-Class bloons it is a good idea to set the target priority of the MOAB-Mauler to Strong.
 * It takes eighteen missiles from the Mauler to destroy a M.O.A.B., and sixty-four hits to destroy a B.F.B.. It takes 54 missiles with Frag Bombs to destroy a B.F.B..
 * The M.O.A.B. Mauler is possibly designed to resemble the "Fat Man", which was dropped on Nagasaki in 1945 to end World War II.
 * This upgrade gives the tower a bigger explosion and a slightly faster fire rate, but has less range too.
 * Some people speculate that the Mauler does more damage to BFBs than MOABs. However, this is not true.
 * The icon for the M.O.A.B Mauler upgrade in BTD5 strongly resembles a Bullet Bill from the Super Mario games.
 * While this upgrade path is better against MOAB-class bloons, the other path is better against non-zeppelin bloons.
 * Thus, when using Bomb Towers, it is a good idea to have some 3/x or 4/x Bomb Towers to clean up.
 * If you compare the Attack Speed of the M.O.A.B. Mauler and the Missile Launcher you see that M.O.A.B. Maulers sre faster.
