Clearly no because the Dinobots weren't originally combiners while those other guys were.
It's about staying true to the characters, why make a non combiner version of a character when the mold could instead go to a different character who would be better slotted for a mold?

If they split them up now, that could give them the chance for characterisation. All it takes is one writer to take an interest in Drag Strip or Blast off and away you go.
They don't need to split them up to give them characterization, sometimes characters are good because they work off each other because of different personalities.
I'd like to see the Combiner team guys get more characterization but what's the difference between taking say Dead End from the Stunticons and put him with a different group of characters if he still didn't get any defining characterization?
But what is the difference between First Aid getting character development with the Lost Light crew and getting development while he's with the Protectobots?
If your going to take a character away from the team completely why even bother with that instead of using a non combiner team character for the role like say Gears?
So basically why can't they just develop the whole team in a way where their just as good with the team as the times when their not with them?
