Someone found some of the Transformers bundles at Walmart and posted it on Reddit (photo below from u/theredrosespider on Reddit). Unfortunately no sign of the Studio Series ones, but hopefully we see them soon. Some of the bundles are also available online, and we have a link for you below.
For those wondering, these bundles are made up of excess US stock which Hasbro is selling to Walmart at a steep discount. There is no indication of these being made available in other countries.

The extended cast roster for Studio Series September this year ended up being pretty well timed!

Megatron, don't know. Might wait until he goes on sale. The triple changing is a bit crude. Seems like tanks turning into jets is always a hard thing to get right. *cough,* looks at Legacy Blitzwing *cough*.

I'd have preferred a more faithful "concept art" rendition of this guy:
As opposed to a Movieverse adaptation.

Also really felt like they were trying to hint to some degree at Stratosphere coming in the future too

I agree, that Prototype looked really good in both modes, and you were hard pressed to tell it turned into the other mode.
But alas, the actual BB Megatron toy, does not even look like the concept art all that much in either tank or jet modes.

BB Ratchet and Brawn
BB Ironhide and Arcee
BB Wheeljack and 86 Preceptor
Legacy Tarantulas and Elita-1
Legacy Skullgrin and Dead End
Legacy Wildrider and Knock Out
They're in the holiday section near the front, NOT the regular toy section.

This is really such a great set, I hope it gets reissued so more people can get ahold of it. By the way, did you know that Shockwave's horns in DOTM are asymmetrical? I didn't find out until someone else pointed it out recently, and the Studio Series figure actually reflects that too!

Which live action characters would you like to see in Studio Series Commander Class?
My first pick would be DOTM Devcon! That'd be a proper size for how he appeared on screen and has been surprisingly popular in stuff like the fan vote we held the other year. He's a more obscure character, but we're also getting Magmatron as a Commander, so obscure characters are on the table!
If we get a core class AOE/TLK Knight Prime to go with SS Grimlock, a Commander Dragonstorm to fit that same relative scale would be great! I like the idea of 3 bots or so that are roughly Optimus height in robot mode (thus scaling with standard Studio Series in robot mode) that then works with core class figures/ Grimlock in robot mode.
Similarly going with that core class scale, ROTB Stratosphere would be a good pick! He really needs a figure.
The dinobots are tricky because they'd be titan scale in actual SS scale (if not bigger), so I'd probably like to see the rest as Leaders just to scale with Grimlock, and then we get some aforementioned AOE core class Autobots to go with them.
Demolishor as a non-combining new mold Commander class would be awesome, but a repaint of Scavenger would be much more likely.

I could see a "voyager" Lockdown. Improve the engineering, increase the parts count, and manage to hide as much car kibble as possible à la Unique Toys Perukill. Finalise the set by adding his huge face-sniper canon and a cyber dog.

If it was something I expected to happen, then yes. Expectations should be reasonable
But a little pipe dream never hurt anyone

That would be pretty cool
Though I think with cyber dog and proper face cannon they'd make that a leader
Unless the dog is sold separately as a core class or something, maybe a set of 2

With the tiniest "leader" ever that is ROTB Optimus Primal, I can definitely see that happening.

Didn’t realize we were exclusively talking about the commander class.
Posted by Emerje on December 3rd, 2023 @ 12:04am CST
Definitely like the idea of Devcon at that scale. Same with Stratosphere, maybe include a Core Prime.
This is a dumb wish, but I want a large Dark of the Moon Megatron. The one we got at the time was a Voyager and the one we got in Studio Series was "new scale". I want a big one to go with the large Megs from the first movie to TLK. I don't know if I need a big Galvatron, but I really want a bigger Megatruck to have all four at the same size. I really don't want to (and wont) buy an OSKO to make that happen if such a thing exists.

It's far from dumb. The Leader DOTM Megatron is good, but the square legs are all wrong and he got so much hollow spaces to fill in. So with a Commander budget, I'm sure we can have a DOTM Megatron that would be perfect looking, and I mean, TRULY PERFECT looking in both modes, AND be in scale.
If we get something in-between the SS Leader DOTM Megatron and the Unique Toys Desperado, I'd be all over it.

Also, that jet wasn't chosen at random. Not sure if I'm the first one to notice it.

Stratosphere needs to be big too.
Infernocus could work at a commander price point too I think.

Nice work! I've always had a soft spot for Jolt, for some reason. I think that it's because he turns into a normal looking car.

Thanks! Jolt's had an interesting hisotry with toys, especially with that original DOTM deluxe. It was crazy getting the first good look at his CG model with Sam Smith's screen to toy post!

Wow, he looks even shinier than in previous stock photos and the Pulse stream. Even compared to ROTB Prime next to him there's more of a reflectiveness to the silver. It's pretty impressive what they can do with these new plastic coatings over traditional paint.

And it's amusing to me how his arm cannon is this big, massive piece that ends in a teensy gun barrel. *pew pew pew*

As for Shockwave, he's pretty much perfect and his altmode look solid.
