CL - it happened regurlarly in the post ARAH era and the 1997-1998 revival of 3 3/4 inch gi joe was not spared.
Per instance, the Battlecorps Frostbite became Blizzard, the entire body of 1986' General Hawk was reused for Breaker and Rock N' Roll, Battlecorps Wet-Suit became Torpedo, Thunder became Thunderwing (although the renaming is somewhat acceptable to continuity), and the entire body of Jinx was entirely reused for Vypra, etc.
