It is shocking Transformers news I ever heard. Because South Korea is not a place that Transformers are popular. Most korean people do not know about the Transformers. In South Korea people know about Generation 1 the movie, Beast Wars Season 1, Beast Wars Neo, Transformers R.I.D. and ARMADA. ARMADA was end early in korea on episode 39 (Optimus's death) because most people don't know the Transformers."
Korea is Nelson Shin's country. I think that is the reason for the early release just in Sourth Korea. Anyway, this is not lie and not rumor. See the South Korean news pages linked below:
