South Korea

South Korea, often referred to as just Korea, is a nation-state in East Asia on Earth. It is a democratic state unlike its next-door totalitarian neighbor and major rival, North Korea. Major cities in South Korea include the capital, Seoul, and Incheon.

Notes

• In real life, South Korea has notably had one variant toyline unique to itself, the Car Bot line, derived from Robots in Disguise (2001).
• South Korea is also known for its abysmal toy distribution when it comes to Transformers: most retailers refuse to stock anything that isn't Movie-related, to the chagrin of more G1-minded fans. This also causes large quantities of shelfwarmers, which contribute to the notion that "Transformers toys don't sell" and worsen the cycle.
• What does sell is South Korea's own original transforming robot toylines, with accompanying cartoons and merchandise: The two major pioneers are Young Toys's Tobot, and Sonokong's Hello Carbot.
