Good folks over at Ozformers are letting us know that Transformers: The Last Knight Titan Changers are now available at Toyworld in Melbourne, Australia.
Two of the three known TLK Titan Changer toys are available very early, even though they were scheduled to be released Fall 2017. Titan Changers Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are priced at Australian $25 (approx. US$ 20) each.
This isn’t the first time such a thing happened, for Australia saw an early release of Transformers: Age Of Extinction figures back in 2014 around the same timeframe.
Transformers 5 toys are slated for a release date of April 24th, 2017 and you can check out the full release schedule via the official press release.
Info from the Press Release:
TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT TITAN CHANGERS Assortment

At least these seem to be the only titan figures they're doing this time, not all different sizes and with it without weapons or electronics. And they do at least transform.

Don't worry about rushing out to get these. They will warm shelves for the line's entire run and then show up at Ross.

Ugh I need leader Megatron now.
EDIT: No, I need all of wave 1 noooooow.
SpectrumBelle
Can't wait till I can get my hands on those… So glad we're getting more for TLK.

Maybe Toyworld mistook Fall 2017 to be Australia's Fall 2017.

Now if we can get them early. Last line, I almost got the whole wave 1 a month and a half early.

Just like in February 2014 before the TF4 Lost Age movie, it looks like Toyworld has managed to get their hands on Movie gimmick toys 2 months before the April release date, and they went ahead and put them straight out on the shelves. And they don't appear to be one of the official advance release toys (like the Optimus Helmet and Voyager Optimus), as the Hasbro Press Release has them noted for Fall 2017.
Found by Ozformers member Paulbot at a Toyworld in Melbourne, are the Transforming Titans – Optimus and Bumblebee, for $25 each.
So don't expect these figures, or the other regular Movie toys, to show up in other stores here, as the global release date is April 24th, and these were likely to be an accidental early release.
