Mechanic Monkey

"Imagine running blooms over with a remote control car. This monkey allows you to do just that!"

- Yoshipea, starting his explanation on the mechanic monkey. Mechanic monkeys (AKA grease monkeys, or car jammers) are support towers that have a variety of ways to support other towers. The list starts off with simple RC cars(like the one pictured), to moving Robot dispensers.

Strategy
When deploying a mechanic, think about their placement before even having one. A track with a lot of twists and turns would mean a mechanic would have a lot of coverage with their cars, but not their wrenches. Straightforward maps will make both of their weapons good in coverage. Maps with excessive holes and teleporting shenanigans would give the wrench enough coverage to make use of their knockback capabilities, but the car would have little to no use.

Although the tower itself may be hard to get on early rounds, the monkey itself can make up for it by having decent upgrades. To make things easier, path 1 is the most recommended path for beginners, and is therefore the cheapest. A 5--X-X mechanic can handle most rounds up until 100, which is when the B.A.D comes.

A X-5-X mechanic is hard to get, and is hard to use. However, they can take on almost any threat with the robot empire ability, allowing for tough blimps to be taken down easily... As long as it's used right.

X-X-5 mechanics focus more on Boss wrangling rather than bloom popping. Their Monster trucks may only come one at a time, but they can crush ceramics if they were told to go in the right direction. The only downside is that the monkey itself doesn't have the proper firepower to handle bloons nearby, so a 2-0-5 may have to be in order. Just remember that their positioning matters as much as a simple dart monkey would.

Trivia

 * They're based off of Rocky Wrenches from the Mario games, Robot engineers, and Mechanics respectively.
 * Their upgrades seem to show changes into a different profession:
 * Path 1 shows the monkey turning into a wrench throwing maniac.
 * Path 2 shows the monkey gain more knowledge on robotics
 * Path 3 represents a mechanic getting increasingly better at his job, until he eventually gains the ability to make monster trucks.
 * Although they can detect camo when given a certain upgrade, they still need support for them to pop leads. X-X-5 Monster trucks are an exception, but will need support to pop camos.
 * It is not recommended to put them on Pontoons, since their cars can't drive in water.
 * They don't even deploy cars on water!
 * Overloading the map with mechanics will result in a Car Jam, which is notorious for its lag.
