S.I.R. Stands for a Standard-issue Information Retrieval unit. It is a form of information gathering robot used by the Irken race in the TV show Invader Zim. They are designed to assist any invader in their conquest of planets. They also double as a thermos.

[edit] Abilities

SIR units are equipped with various weaponry and gadgets. Here is a list of all their known functions;

• Head-mounted Rocket-launchers and Machine Guns
• Circular Saw-blades
• Self destruct capabilities
• Extending Grappler arms
• Hover-jets
• Can fire Electronic-Crippling fragments
• Charge energy-blasts from hands
• Charge energy-blasts from eyes
• Giant sling-shot in head
• Compatible with custom upgrades, such as Mimi's power arm and GIR's memory tank
• Can pilot Irken vehicles (Hinted at by an invader telling his SIR to start up his ship)
• Collapsable for easy storage, as seen when they are being handed out at the Great Assigning
• Possible ability to cook food. GIR is frequently shown creating food with bizarre ingredients (such as waffles with peanuts and soap), so it is possible that this is GIR's version of a SIR's cooking ability.
• Brain can be transferred to other devices, such as Zim's house.
• Thermos

[edit] Additional Features

A SIR units memory disk inside their head records all vital data witnessed by the SIR unit. Though not necessary for the unit to function, it can be used to override basic SIR programming and control the unit from a remote location.

SIRs, if they contain what Gir has within his head, also contain communication devices (visual and audio), and I/O plugs.

They are also capable of storing things in their heads. Although only GIR might be able to this because of his almost nonexistent brain.
