There's the concept of kitbashing, which is related. I know that there are people who create accessories for their transformers which are more in line with canon, but these are generally done at a pretty large-volume scale just because the costs associated with getting custom parts made is (from what I understand) relatively high for a one-off. If you already have a machine for this, or know somebody who does, this might be doable.

Frenzy Rumble is maybe the best custom Transformers maker I've seen. If you look through his portfolio, you'll even find a combiner made out of dinobots!
