1] Who would you like to send a Terminator after? Series/model numbers do not matter.
Who *wouldn't* I like to send one after?
2] What Terminator may be the best or the most dangerous? T- 800? T- 1000? T-X? Hunter Killer? Humans?
The T-1000. It's by far the most versatile, the only reason it failed in T-2 was because of it's-in-the-script poor tactics.
3] How would you improve any of those Terminators? New weapons? More flexible intelligence? What?
The T-1000 needs a better head for tactics, I'd also improve on its apparently limited ability to control severed bits of itself. Arnie-bot could use some built-in weaponry like the new one has (and really, why couldn't they have encased a plasma rifle in living tissue and shipped it with him? of hidden a plasma pistol in his abdomen or up his butt?).
4] Some years ago, I saw a Terminator parody at a sick animation festival. May have been Spike and Mike, not sure. Anyway, anyhow, the title of the parody was "The Bulimanator" featuring a cyborg who overeats and then projectile vomit at selected target. I personally thought it was funny. Did you see any kind of satire or parody of the Terminator? Other than the usual Mad Magazine, of course.
I seem to recall a MadTV parody that combined Slingblade with Aliens, with a bit of T2 thrown in.
5] A poster pointed out that a Terminator (T-1000) was rather creepy. The poster then explained why (proximity and stabbing weapons only). Do you think any of those Terminators could be creepy or scary? Or what?
I think any of them would be frightening in real life. T- 1000 has the most potential for such things, even without the blade angle - the shape-shifting is creepy enough, especially if it's adopted the form of someone you know/trust.

Something occured to me during this about the T-1000. It may not be able to produce the chemicals with which to propel bullets, but it should have little trouble *firing* bullets by making its hand into a zip gun or something.
