1) Megatron crash-lands 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.

Cartoon continuity

Years before the Great War, Starscream and Skyfire surveyed the Earth in a scientific expedition. During their survey, Skyfire crashed in the Arctic.

He made his landing near the planet's north pole. Unfortunately, he landed on relatively thin ice, which quickly gave way under his weight and the heat from his atmospheric entry. The freezing water quickly sent his systems into a dormant state somewhat akin to stasis lock. Prime Directives issue 2

Footnotes

<ol class="references"><li id="cite_note-0"><a href="#cite_ref-0" title="">↑</a> 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.</ol>
