'''Bomb Shooters''' (~~also~~ known as '''Cannons''' or '''Bomb Towers''') are [[monkey]]-operated cannons that use bombs, missiles and other explosives to pop [[Bloon|Bloons]]. They were introduced in the original [[Bloons Tower Defense (game)|''Bloons Tower Defense'']], appearing in almost every [[Bloons (franchise)|''Bloons'']] game since.

=== [[Bloons TD (series)|''Bloons TD'' series]] ===

The Bomb Shooter fires bombs that can pop groups of Bloons at a time.

The Bomb Shooter fires bombs that can pop groups of Bloons at a time, with the usual exception of [[Black Bloon|Black Bloons]] that resist explosives.

Representing the [[Bomb Bloon]] from the original [[Bloons (game)|''Bloons'']], in [[Bloons Tower Defense (game)|''Bloons Tower Defense'']] Bomb Towers are the only [[Tower|towers]] that can pop [[Freeze|frozen]] Bloons. This ability would expand to the newly-introduced [[Lead Bloon|Lead Bloons]] in its [[Bloons Tower Defense 2|sequel]]. In [[Bloons TD 4|''Bloons TD 4'']], its ultimate upgrade is the [[MOAB Mauler (BTD4)|MOAB Mauler]], dealing vastly increased damage to [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]].

In the [[Bloons TD 5|''Bloons TD 5'']] generation of games, its bottom path retains the MOAB-Class damage specialty, while the top path focuses on increasing the amount of Bloons it can pop. Its [[Specialty Building]] in ''BTD5'' is the [[Bombing Range]], while its main [[Monkey Building|buildings]] in [[Bloons Monkey City|''Bloons Monkey City'']] are the [[Bomb Range]] and the [[Ordnance and Munitions Support]].

In the [[Bloons TD 5|''Bloons TD 5'']] generation of games, its bottom path retains the MOAB-Class damage specialty, while the top path focuses on increasing the amount of Bloons it can pop. Its [[Specialty Building]] in ''BTD5'' is the [[Bombing Range]], while its main [[Monkey Building|buildings]] in [[Bloons Monkey City|''Bloons Monkey City'']] are the [[Bomb Range]] and the [[Ordnance and Munitions Support]] (in the [[Bloons Monkey City (Flash)|Flash version]]) or the [[Cannon Support]] (in the {{multiplat version|Bloons Monkey City}}).

In [[Bloons TD 6|''Bloons TD 6'']] and [[Bloons TD Battles 2|''Battles 2'']], the Bomb Shooter is a [[Primary]] tower. It keeps the MOAB-Class damage path, while the stunning and cluster bomb aspects of ''BTD5''<nowiki/>'s top path would be split into their own paths.

In [[Bloons TD 6|''Bloons TD 6'']] and [[Bloons TD Battles 2|''Battles 2'']], the Bomb Shooter is a [[Primary]] tower. It keeps the MOAB-Class damage path, while the stunning and cluster bomb aspects of ''BTD5''<nowiki/>'s top path would be split into their own paths. The top path primarily becomes the damage path with added support via [[stun]]s and [[pushback]] (''BTD6'' only). In ''BTD6'', it has a Paragon called the [[Ballistic Obliteration Missile Bunker]].

Despite the monkey operating the cannon never properly appearing, the cannon has been shown to talk in ''Bloons Pop!'', suggesting some sort of speaker system or that the cannon itself is somehow sentient.
