What if Nadeshiko was instead a Machineman homage?

This thought just occurred to me. The other Fourze movies brought back Ishinomori characters: the Kyodain, Black Knight and Gaburin Queen (as Inga Blink), Daitetsujin 17 (as XVII), Akumaizer 3, Poitrine and Inazuman. What if, instead of being labeled as another Kamen Rider, Megamax introduced Nadeshiko as a Machineman homage? Machineman was an alien who came to Earth to study humans, and Nadeshiko is an alien who in her brief time observed humans, namely Gentaro, and mimicked their abilities; and when the Horoscopes and Foundation X appeared joined Fourze to defend the world.

Other than the fact that Megamax already had a movie-exclusive Rider in Aqua/Posiedon, this could have been an opportunity to further expand the post-Decade/Neo Heisei (however you want to call it) Rider universe with other Ishinomori heroes and villains.

Well, considering how the whole concept of recreating Ishinomori heroes seems to have ended up in failure in the end and has been thrown aside now (Poitrine and the Akumizer were introduced in the Wizard part and the crossover part done by Wizard's staff, so those are really not due to Fourze), I don't think it'd have added anything to the movie.

It'd just make Nadeshiko seem less relevant since she wouldn't get the "Rider" title and wouldn't resemble Fourze's suit as much. I also don't think a Birth-like visor would have fit the character she had well.
