2) Mainframe's base
The Arctic, containing the North Pole, is the northern most region of Earth. Temperatures there are well below the freezing point of water and it is an extremely dangerous place for humans.
If you're a flying Transformer, there is a good chance you've crashed here at some point.
Fiction
Generation 1
Animated continuity
Years before the Great War, Starscream and Skyfire surveyed the Earth in a scientific expedition. During their survey, Skyfire crashed in the Arctic. Starscream searched for his friend for some time, but couldn't find him. Millions of years later, the Decepticons, while trying to drain Earth's core of heat energy, discovered Skyfire. He was convinced to join the Decepticons out of his friendship with Starscream, but later turned on them for their ways. All he got for his trouble was being reburied under the ice. Fire in the Sky
Later, the Autobots unburied Skyfire...when they needed a ride to South America. They couldn't have done that sooner? Fire on the Mountain
Transformers (2007)
Searching for the All Spark, Megatron entered Earth's atmosphere white hot in the Arctic. However, he melted the ice he was standing on, freezing him and sending him into a dormant state somewhat akin to stasis lock. Thousands of years later, Archibald Amundsen Witwicky lead the National Arctic Circle Expedition to chart the Arctic circle. While there, he discovered Megatron, who subsequently burned the location of the All Spark into Witwicky's glasses. Transformers

Footnotes
- ↑ This location comes from the Transformers (Glu) game, it includes Witwicky's base camp, and the ice cave where Megatron had been found. Unfortunately this location is landlocked and cannot possibly be correct. The map used by the game shows the Greeland landmass... but not the ice sheet, which is probably the source of the boo-boo.
