I have huge amount of gunpla with no time to built. Tokyo underground is excellent if you trying to get onto the hobby and mix around with people building as they have workshops.

Quick update, current as of last weekend but also any time in the last year:
No Transformers figures of any nature at either Quality Comics or ComicZone in the CBD. Quality Comics has a reasonable amount of non-current Transformers IDW stuff (a few of the older trade collections). Couldn't see any at ComicZone.
Zing/EB Games in the Hay St Mall has MPM Prime, but for some stupid price.
I'm really just here for the free food and open bar.
Target Perth CBD is closing on 29/5/2021 and being replaced by a Kmart. In more recent times they generally had little TF stock and were slow to restock but did get some things worth buying by chance. It was the ony place I ever saw the Headmasters retros (full set of wave 2). And they had SS86 deluxes and WFC Earthrise and Kingdom deluxes/cores. They made the Myer CBD hunt more worthwhile and now I no longer have a really close Target. They also have a decent range of non-TF toys that I like and have bought over the years, including exclusives/hard to finds.
I don't know if Kmart CBD is overall better or worse for my TF collecting and other purchases. I think probably worse, since the range of (TF) toys between the Kmarts and Targets is often different at a given time, at least at the ones I visit. So if I miss out at Kmart, I can sometimes pick up at Target and vice versa.

The Titan Movies & Pop Culture store that used to be in Malaga moved to Maylands, 76 Eighth Avenue. It's now called Titan Pop Culture. Maylands was my old stomping grounds so it's cool to see a TF shop there.
TF search.
Edit: As reported by Omega Metro in the WA sightings section, there is now a pop-up shop in the Midland Gate Shopping Centre, as well as the Maylands shop.

I came across an online-only shop called Toy Igloo, which is Perth-based. I don't know anything about them, but they are selling the latest figures (e.g. Shattered Glass Soundwave; Legacy wave 3, Red Cog, and Hero is Born; Legacy Evolution), as well as rarer ones heavily marked up. $8 flat rate shipping or free over $150.

TK Maxx is setting up its frst WA store at Ocean Keys Shopping Centre. Hopefully it will spread around Perth and stock similar Transformers bargains that other members have sighted.
