In the book they're from, they're presented as gear Smart Brain is selling. Tokusatsu production is very fluid, so you never really know if something you design is going to make it in or undergo insane changes.

Early designs in general are interesting to look at, just to spot what changed and what stayed the same. A lot of the early Kabuto designs look like what we ended up getting, but a lot of the Den-O stuff looks nothing like the final product.
