The way they showed it in the show though was that Osmosians could only absorb so much energy from an alien without killing the alien and even then it was still weaker than the aliens regular abilities as seen with Aggregor when he absorbed the Geochelone Aerio to death in Galapagus's flashback. Though your theory could explain Manny and Helen's appearance change in Omniverse as some of their power could have returned to the original Tetramand and Kinceleran that powered them up. Another explanation could be that what we saw in Omniverse was a compressed version of what occured and the transfer of power was done slowly over a longer period of time so it didn't kill the progenitor alien while powering up the Amalgams to the correct extent. My evidence that the progenitors weren't killed is Argit being alive right now.
