As Annuga said, it's stock footage, if they want to use it they will. They did the same with Ghost. However:

You're right with that one. But with the Ultraman Orb example, they cut the whole transformations because Orb transformed a lot in this episode. I think they keep it up if he transforms less, they only have one transforming hero after all.

Well the LV1 suits will definitely stick around, they are suits after all. And I think they can do it like Kabuto, I mean showing the full thing if they have time or simply have the Riders transform in between scenes. Ex-Aid already has the glowing gate thingy, I wouldn’t be surprised if he transforms by simply running through it in future episodes. Like Blade or Wizard.

Huh? How is a giant CGI monster "made to reduce cost"? Even if it looks simply, it's a big computer animation. It still costs much more money than a suit.

Because it looks lame. It is just two suits bashed together, without anything new to it. Some suits can work well when used together, the Mach and Chaser suits definitely don't. It’s also used in an incredibly strong moment for Gou which makes me dislike it even more, the situation deserved something better.
