Forum:Alien monster rulings

So the aliens are pretty basic with the a counters and what not like if alien skull attacks a monster with 1 counter they lose 300 attack. Now under his effect it actually reads what the a counters do. Now take alien hunter, alien mother, and alien shocktrooper none of these monsters have that anywhere under their effect. So basically my question is if these monsters battle with a monster with an a counter do they get the bonuses?
