Some of the Analog Devices Sharcs have similar interconnection topologies, e.g. the ADSP-21160 had six bytewide link ports, doubtless an expressio of the sincerest form of flatery.
Subsequent Sharcs were more targeted to single DSP functionality. The baremetal 12 Sharc boards I worked on were for masochists.

Closest thing to a Transputer from TI I can think of were the C-series DSP chips: eg TMS 320C40, although they used 6x byte-wide parallel ports not the 4x bit-wide serial ports of the Transputer. Some Transputer software was ported to them, including Perihelion’s Helios operating system, iirc. d
