Australian retailer Big W has listed the exclusive 6-Pack of Transformers: The Last Knight 1-Step Turbo Changers which appeared previously on the Australian Retailer Exclusive List.
The gimmick for the exclusive is the same as the gimmick for Target Exclusive figures in United States.
The pack also comes with a set of weapons, with Optimus Prime carrying the same weapons as seen on his Voyager version.
“From Megatron to Optimus Prime and Grimlock to Bumblebee, these Tranformers: The Last Knight Turbo Changer figures easily transform to their vehicles in one easy step!”
Online price is listed as Australian $ 99.00/-

I saw Wave 2 in Target today. Im probably going to go back down and pick up Megatron.
I wonder… if they have Wave 2 of the One Steps is it possible that they'd have the Voyagers or Armour Changers out back?

This set is literally a modern day version of the Victory HEROES gift set I love so much. I approve

Yes, until we get a bigger sample size.

Well, there have only been two prior 1-Step multi-packs, so I guess 1 out of 3 makes it a rare occurrene?

I was referring to the rarity of 1-step multipacks having most or all of the toys with new colours (past multi-packs just had one toy that was unique, and the rest were identical to their regular releases), and for having accessories.

Children will what this because it's "fun". Like I said before all I would want are the weapons.

these toys look like the carpet inside of a cici's pizza

I do wonder why they do things like this. They're not really aimed at collectors, and kids would be just as happy with the regular versions of the toys, parents not really knowing the difference. Same with exclusives, especially when making a single character exclusive to one store. It's almost like the design and marketing teams were looking for something to do.

I assume by "rarity" you mean "it's rare that Hasbro does something like this for an exclusive multi-pack", not "this set is only released in low quantities"?

Here are some photos and details of the 6-pack, now that it is out in Australia.
The recently released Movie 6-pack of 1-step toys, under the "Reveal the Shield" banner, has paint details hidden in a pattern of red dots…. which are revealed with one of the transparent red accessories (or one off the old 1980s techspec decoders). But be aware that some dotted areas don't have anything hidden in them.
This multi-pack of 1-step toys is unique, by having every toy with some colour changes, and accessories (on a sprue shaped like what the RID Minicons had).
The pack contains Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Hound, Barricade, Megatron and Grimlock.
The first four are redecos of wave 1 toys, while the other two are from wave two… which aren't out here yet, so this was their first release in Australia (and the first time for this Megatron toy as the Grimlock toy was originally released in 2014 for the 4th Movie.
I think the red wheels spoil the toys a bit, and could have been left black… while the large areas of dots detract from the toy as well. But it's not uncommon for a Transformers toy to be spoiled by a marketing gimmick.
The one good thing about this set is the price here – $99 at BigW, and only $79 during the current mid-year toy sale. That's about 30% less than what six regular 1-step toys would cost.

They said that was it for the Premier Edition. I've pointed out before that they didn't give any info on the other movie lines because they were dealing with fan sites for adult collectors. They didn't mention any of these 'reveal' exclusives but their existence isn't an indication that the main TLK line will continue as the exclusive lines will be running concurrently with all the main lines.

This was never revealed on the 1st, and they clamed this is the end of all TLK products. So I think with this, there is still hope.

I may pick this up and keep the weapons for and and give the boys to work for the rec-room

I'm pretty sure those are different weapons from what the voyager Prime (the voyager's shield looks larger and a different shape, and the sword is very different).

Neat. @SgtLemon same here.

Let's be honest this thread is gonna be filled with lots of hate because not alto of people want to give 1-Steps a chance and frankly that's fine because that's their opinion.
I will say I like the set because it's a good way to get all of them if you skipped on them. One-Steps are fun because of cool engineering, nice V-modes and some actually nice design. I would still get the set even if I had all of them or a couple because I like the weapons and colors.
However, $99.99 is a steep prize for this and when the TMNT 2 6 Pack with the four turtles and Bebop and Rocksteady is $49.99 and a Target Exclusive I'm quite confused. Sure these transform in one-step and the engineering is awesome but it's still too much. And yes if you were to divide them up and sell each one separately the prize for each individual one-step would be cheaper than an actual individual one-step so maybe it's not that bad but it's still a tall order. Maybe I'll pick it up but I want Cybertron and a couple other figures from TLK, RID, and TR so I don't know.

Oh god the red ruins what would be a fun £15 set from Home Bargains

I think it's the first time we've had weapon accessories for 1-step toys… and it's a first to have the entire 1-step multipack with altered colors (usually it is just one that is different).
The price was noted as AU$99, which is $16.50 per 1-step, and that's the first Movie exclusive toy/set that is cheaper than the regular movie toys, as the 1-step price is $19 each at most stores here. (and $21 at ToysRUs)
