Recreating Copy and Transform for animation

Basically I'd like to create an animating Copy and Transform to do infinite looping motion, I'm getting some interesting results with timeshift inside a For-Each loop, but it's not the same duplicated offset you get with the Copy and Transform SOP where the distance between copies multiplies with each copy, whereas with Timeshift inside a loop the distance is much more linear. I'm curious how others would go about doing this, maybe this is a job for a solver SOP? Any ideas? Thanks!

That's very cool, and I tried something similar with merging transforms in a solver. In the attached file I've done a comparison with the copy and transform SOP and something I sort of hacked together with for-each using the loop increment as the offset in a timeshift, which provides a ton of control for smooth motion and offset but it doesn't accumulate the transforms relative to the previous copy the way Copy and Transform does
