Takara Tomy has done such before, transforming the one-off combiner torso Cyclonus in Combiner Wars into his own dedicated team in Unite Warriors as Grand Galvatron.
Though, one could also argue that, despite Takara keeping Cyclonus as Cyclonus, they colored the torso mode uniquely enough to make Grand Galvatron his own distinct combiner from Galvatronus, justifying the double dip on the Hasbro and Takara versions of Cyclonus.
It's odd, and a bit contradictory on my part I'll admit, but most of the time, I take straight up repaints to be the "same" character. Thus why I only bought Grand Galvatron (and not CW Cyclonus). However... I did make 2 different combiners from UW Optimus and CW Battle Core Optimus. I also somehow justified 3 different Scattershots in the same Universe (Single CW release as Modulus, CW Box Set as "Betatron", and UW as Computron proper)
I guess it's all mental. If I were into seekers instead of Combiners, I would blow a gasket at 10 different colored Starscreams, but take 10 of the same seeker mold and name them different characters, and I'm good.
