- “Armed with a long-range cannon with explosive shells and a stubborn attitude. This package of destruction is a real nightmare for bloons! But has slow firerate.”
- — In-Game Description
The Monkey Tank is a tower which made its debut in Bloons TD 7: Monkey's Rule. It can pop 3 layers of bloons and can pop lead bloons but not black bloons (without upgrades). It has medium range and firerate. But it cannot detect camo bloons without upgrades. Its first path is based on improving the shells and eventually making the tank powered by nuclear power. The second path turns it into a powerful missile truck with the ability to obliterate MOAB-class bloons with ease. The third path turns it into a formidable APC with built-in machine-guns.
