There are two easy ways to determine a card's relative strength, all using this wiki :D

You can sort cards by their sell price. A card's sell price is directly derived from its overall stats. Also, the more a card sells for, the more exp it will give to a card when used to upgrade it (and also the more it will cost to include that card in an upgrade). I already added/updated the sell price for all the R2s in the game, so you'll have a complete list.

You can also sort cards by one of their primary stats: ATK, HP or DEF. Most people are interested in ATK solely, but you can also sort cards by the *total* of all three stats and have a better idea of the ones that are good "all-rounders".

Using these tools, you'll notice that the R2s giving the most exp when upgrading should be Razorclaw and Acid Storm. The best non-episode R3s would be Optimus Prime, Grimlock and Starscream, with Megatron, Shockwave and Autobot Jazz all being good R3s, as well.

Again, using these tools, you can determine that the best missions to farm are 2.1.3, 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 (all decepticon side, 2.3.4 is for weapons since the rare is a signature wep).

As others have already mentioned, to get the most out of a card, you want to max level both its forms separately, then trans-scan, and then max level that new trans-scanned character.
