Yeah, it's kinda like how Armada Demolisher is IroHide in Japan.
Outside of the staple bots, names get tossed around all the time.

Trademarks, not copyright, trademarks. *has hammer ready*
Anyway, yes, names are reused all the time between non-connecting lines. Mini-Cons and other small figures are insignificant enough for their names to be reused within connecting lines however.
