New Zealand
This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.
New Zealand (or Aotearoa in Māori) is an island nation in Earth's Pacific Ocean, located southeast of Australia. The humans living there are commonly referred to as either New Zealanders or Kiwis; it is also home to the native Māori people. They are also outnumbered 7 to 1 by sheep, a fact which Australians find intensely humorous.

Notes
- As in Australia, New Zealand's Transformers DVD's are supplied by Madman Entertainment.
- Also like Australia, everything costs considerably more in New Zealand than it does in America, including Transformers toys, which are usually twice or even thrice as expensive.
- The country has a hard time getting new wave releases, and rarely any exclusives. Does Hasbro not like them?
- New Zealand was the first country to premiere the 2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon in English.
- Clive Revill, who played Kickback in The Transformers cartoon, was born and raised in New Zealand's capital city, Wellington.
