The thing is, Saber's designs don't really seem like they were ever made to be modular. The motif of most of our Riders is their weapons so it's kind of hard for me to imagine them doing anything too kitbashy. Our villains are mostly kitbashes but there's a reason they didn't really use any parts from the Saber suits, unlike guys like Cronus and Evol who were basically made to allude Ex-Aid and Build respectively.

The obvious exceptions to our lack of modularity are the Swordriver users. However, we know Saber's getting a last-minute "powerup" from scans, and IMO Tategami hasn't really gotten to shine much in the narrative since its introduction, so I doubt they'll want anything to overshadow it before the inevitable v-cinema. That didn't stop Vulcan, but I still highly doubt Blades will have anything else to show off.

If it HAS to be someone, my money would be on Espada. IF our new Calibur ends up being Luna or Sophia, I could see how an Espada Jaaku Alangina scenario plays out - Luna/Sophia gets knocked out of their transformation during the final battle and Kento is forced to take action(i.e., Kurayami and Jaaku Dragon) since Golden Alangina isn't strong enough and everyone else is busy for whatever reason.

The reason I theorize that is because it's the easiest last-minute kitbash I can think of - again, because of the way Saber handles form changes, that'd still be pretty difficult since they would have to make an almost completely new torso.
