@josm is right. I posted an update last week but I can see now that it didn’t go through.
After the Dec 1 update, coin yield increased due to stronger & more valuable Energon Cubes. Also the mortar tower robot is invincible.
After the Dec 22 update, the squad bonus further increased coin yield.
Now per run, you get about 500 to 3000 coins, non-doubled. Save videos for at least 2000.
Soundwave: when at a high level (7+) he yields the most coins; his energy blasts can destroy ALL the blocks and Cubes. However you still only can get a maximum useless-point total of 114. The total of coins depends on the “arrangement” of blocks/cubes. With the squad bonus I have gotten ~3200 (not doubled). His vehicle is extra bouncy so you have to carefully use the accelerator.
Grimlock: second highest coins, on average. His “electricity beam” tracks the Cube as it falls, which increases coins. At level ~6 with luck you can finish the vehicle run. At 8+ it’s pretty repeatable.
Optimus: his lasers/bullets must have mass, because annoyingly they push the Cubes back and they fall behind the frame out of range. His vehicle is the most stable, but so much that he’ll often just swipe the lowest level of blocks away, leaving the remaining stack to fall down “as-is” and settle in place, still in your way.
Starscream: at higher levels his repeating laser is so fast that you have to aim for the next Cube before the first one is destroyed. Once you get this timing down his coin yield is respectable. His vehicle (plane) is the fastest, able to finish the run even at very low levels.
