Is it just me or is the submerged Monkey Sub like a modified Meerkat Spy? Here's the comparison:

1. Range of camo detection: Only camo bloons within the range of the submerged Bloontonium Reactor Monkey Sub are visible (although this is actually permanent until after they've gotten out of the Sub's range) to surrounding towers within or outside the range of the Monkey Sub while ALL camo bloons are visible to all towers within the range of the Meerkat Spy. Could sound like a tie.

2. Popping power: Submerged Bloontonium Reactor Monkey Sub can pop bloons using its radioactive radar pulse while the Meerkat Spy Pro can shoot bloons using its laser eyes. Advantage to the Monkey Sub for not being a special agent, but that may be a subjective opinion. Final judgment depends on which one is better suited (or much more helpful) for attacking MOAB-class bloons. Can the submerged Monkey Sub actually hurt MOABs or is it just related to the likes of the Ice Tower and the Glue Gunner that don't even bother attack when a MOAB is strolling by?

3. Other uses: Well, obviously the Meerkat Spy loses here. Cooldown Bonus and such... Doesn't it also remove the regenerating ability off bloons? [update: the Sub Construction Yard gives the Monkey Sub's sonar (NOT radar) the ability to remove regrowth ability off bloons.]
