If I had to do it over again, I’d do things differently than I have, but here are some parts of what I now think:

1. Most important is to upgrade the TFs you want to do competition/challenge runs with. For many people, those are Grimlocks.

2. Yes, it is good to have TFs upgraded who are useful for running various kinds of missions.

3. It is common that the TFs you run missions with then appear at a node. So I’d like to run missions with TFs I generally like to use.

4. The Variant TFs give more gold. Also, they’re a nice spread of the three mission-running kinds. So they and the Grimlocks would do well as the top priority.

5. My priorities include 4 “bomb” TFs — the 3 Grimlocks and the other Variant “bomb” one. Of course, during a competition only 1 is available for missions, but at other times all 4 are.

6. I don’t find many of the “magnifying glass” TFs to be very powerful. I leveled up Starscream or her sister to 15 and found her quite disappointing. I like Bumblebee even though he’s weak; besides, I have a nice item for him from the Christmas contest, so I wish I’d leveled him instead. Now I have Windblade with some accessories, so I’m thinking of leveling her too.

7. If I had to do it over, my non-variant “lightbulb” TF priorities would be Soundwave/Soundblaster. In part that’s because I got good accessories for them in a competition. Also, I’m a Celtics fan, and I think they look a bit like Paul Pierce. :)

Anyhow, they seem to destroy quite a bit of stuff.

8. I wonder whether Shockwave would actually be useful as an alternative to the Grimlocks in certain competitions. I really like instantaneous beams that make killing of missiles easy. So he might be my next bomb TF to level up.

9. I find TFs to be very annoying to use at low levels. Depending on the TF, I started not-hating some of them around level 3-4, while for others it took as high as level 8. So I’d encourage you to level everything up to a point where you don’t hate using it. (Or almost everything; you can always spend a gem to avoid using a particular TF.)
