I think I remember reading that the AxCalibur sold so poorly that they stopped bothering to make Final Form weapons.

Zi-O had:
1)Zi-O (ep 1)
2)Decade armour (14)
3)Zi-O II (22)
4)Zi-O Trinity (30)
5)Grand Zi-O (39)
Zero-one had:
1)Rising Hopper (ep 1)
2)Shining Hopper (12)
3)Shining Assault Hopper (15)
4)Metalcluster Hopper (22)
5)Zero-Two (40)
All of these previous riders had 5 main forms.
Debut comparison (Build/Zi-O/01):
1)1/1/1
2)14/14/12
3)20/22/15
4)27/30/22
5)39/39/40
For these guys the debuts are mostly the same time with an episode or two difference, the biggest outlier being Zero-one.
Here are Touma's forms:
1)Brave Dragon (ep1)
2)Crimson Dragon (9)
3)Dragonic Knight (13)
4)Primitive Dragon (23)
5)Elemental Dragon (25-28)
Here it is overlayed with the others:
1)1/1/1/1
2)14/14/12/9
3)20/22/15/13
4)27/30/22/23
5)39/39/40/25-28
Saber definitely is powering through quicker than most other riders. After Elemental Dragon we still have one or two more forms for Saber depending on how it goes. The Reiwa riders are definitely going quicker than Heisei.

I remember back when Heseir Riders seemed to always get their Final Forms around episode 32, but nowadays they seem to get it closer and closer to the final leg of the show.

Of course back then it was usually base form -> Mid-Season Upgrade -> Final Form, where as now we have one or two more upgrades before we get to the Mid-Season Upgrade.
