1st gen: These subs were utterly awful and pointless. It's as if some guy just captured a monster and painted it a different colour. The movesets are exactly the same, with maybe a slight speed difference. And that's it. Crimson fatalis is perhaps the only one that is different enough to deserve existing.

2nd gen: These were much better! New movesets, new look, more than just a new paint job. And a drastic habitat change (well, one of them). And lets face it - Terra Shogun had the best colour scheme EVER. And epic equipment.

3rd gen: Slobber slobber... I love these. All-new moves, colour schemes, and epicness. Too bad I have to wait until march to see them. =(

Frontier: for the gem in MHs' crown, these subs are rather dissapointing. They just don't look as nice as the 3rd gen subs, or as radical. Sure, supreme monsters are cool, but not the rest of them. A couple of them seem to be as bad as the first gen subs. I know someone who plays frontier is going to come along and witter on about how good they are, but that's my opinion, OK.
