So everybody has a favourite character, but not one person has mentioned anything about the Irken Armada. I wonder why that is? We ZIM addicts, at the least, should favour one craft over all others, shouldn't we? I'll list what each craft is purported to do, so read carefully before you vote, okay? When you vote, list which craft you voted for in your post and what compelled you to vote for that particular craft.
Spittle Runner: A combat strike craft, the Irken equivalent of a TIE Fighter.
Shuvver: The craft employed in Organic Sweeps of planets.
Ripper: A powerful fighter-bomber of the Irken skies.
Ring Cutter: A surgical strike bomber craft, useful against capital ships.
Viral Tanker: A mobile bioweapons factory for use as a bomber or transport.
If you need images, look at The Irken Guide for details.
No, I'm not listing the Massive because I expect everybody would vote for the Massive. Nor will I list the Voot Cruiser. Besides, the Voot is outdated technology by Irken standards, though it does mount a surprising array of optional accessories.
So, get to voting and let us see what is the superior craft!

I voted VIRAL TANKER mainly because I like the concept of alternative weapons. The Irkens aren't all lasers and plasma and huge bombs. The Viral Tankers are mobile breeding factories for bioweapons and chemical weapons. Their payload can be unleashed upon smaller worlds or into larger capital ships to destroy all organic crew members. Less often, their lab factories can be stripped away to provide support as dropships for the Irken Elite, particularly soldiers equipped with Maim Bots and Plasma-armed Battle Tanks. Their versatility is what gains my vote. Besides, their twin long pods, lying alongside the craft, give it that modular look I approve of in Irken craft.
And if you pay very close attention to the opening credits, the ship Zim flies alongside before disappearing into hyperspace is a Viral Tanker's back cowling. Interesting, huh?
