New Zealand
New Zealand 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. They are also outnumbered 13 to 1 by sheep, a fact which Australians find intensely humorous.

Notes
- Like Australia, New Zealand's Transformers DVD 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 Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) in English.
