Ghostbusters was kind of one of the first remakes/continuations that happened.

Extreme Ghostbusters was before the new tmnt and before the new He-man.
It continued on the story of the old toon, with everyone retiring and Egon becoming a college professor which led to a new team. Then teamups with the old team. (Some of the same crew that made GI Joe: Renegades IIRC.)

Once the new GB movie gets moving for once, it may splinter off into yet another toon. I just hope they don't completely ignore the other continuation with the toon, or do a complete rebooted toon. This whole building the world and cast is interesting to deal with, which is what I hope they do for the 3rd movie too. At least adding a hot goth girl to the cast as a nod to the continuation toon. (Which would hopefully give them an excuse to add her to the toon again.) >.>

Luckily a new toon if it wants to start over, can just do the expanded company or a branch in a new city among many other ideas without trampling on previous material or rebooting.

TMNT is more like He-man though in many regards. It's a show you can't exactly continue at a certain point(the problem with naming a show or property teenage or character names, it narrows the subject or duration of the time frame, for he-man they'd have to only use masters of the universe to open it up more, which lowers wide brand recognition). It almost needs to be started over every 10-20 years because of the entire focus being on the 4 turtles only, unlike Ghostbusters which is about a company founded by 4 paranormal scientists.
