This is a really cool idea I would love to see
That would basically be TLK Dragonstorm, but also with the Dragonstorm bot mode.
Something similar to that would fit the description, I suppose, although I'd prefer more than two components.
Omega and Time Force Megazords have vehicle components rather than robots, so they're more a match for the closest Transformers equivalent to a reverse combiner, which would be Tidal Wave, which is cool, but not
quite what I was getting at... Although more like Tidal Wave would be cool too.
But while we're on the subject, Time Force had the best Zord designs of any PR season and I refuse to listen to anyone who tries to convince me otherwise.
Anyhow, I think the closest thing out there would be
Lucky Punch from the Korean "Hello Carbot" toyline (sorry the link is a video, I couldn't find a normal page), although the combined bot mode for that one is... weird, to say the least.

That actually made into the Unite Warriors manga, though just as the humanoid form on all fours.
I forgot about that. (We need to start keeping track of these "semi-official" modes somewhere. Anyone want to start that thread?) It's... kinda similar to what I wanted, I guess, in a halfassed way? I mean, it's not
quite at "thanks, I hate it" level, but it's certainly pointed in that general direction.
