I've seen this discussion carried on for a while so I decided to perform an experiment (that as of this posting I'm still working on and will edit in the results as they finalize):

Take Sergeant Kup and find out how much XP he gives in various forms to a fresh (unleveled) R3. Here's the results:

At level 1 cost is 720 and grants 591% (R3 becomes level 5 and is almost level 6)

At level 30 costs 720 (plus costs to get Kup leveled) and grants 970%

Trans-Scanned at level 1 costs 1150 (plus TS cost) and grants 754%

Robot mode + Alt mode level 1s cost 1440 and grant 815%

Trans-Scanned at level 1 then Maxed  PENDING

MTMed PENDING

The most interesting point to me so far is that the level 1-TS-1 actually does give slightly more xp, but when factoring in the cost of TSing, it might be a wash.
