FIVE YEARS?!
That's a pretty large window.
So, 2008-2013.

Only 3 come to mind, each ones in a different size class:

Legend: RTS geewun Megatron. Nifty little guy. Robot mode is pretty accurate and we have a GUN Megatron. Just paint that orange cap black.

Deluxe: TF Prime 1st Edition Megatron, single packed version. I cant tell about the one that came with Prime and the kids, but this one is the BEST Prime Megs there is. Perfect robot, perfect vehicle, and a fun and intuitive transformation. Plus, shiny paint.

Voyager: DOTM Megatron. Sure, he's very very small for a voyager. So small that he's only in scale with DELUXE DOTM Optimus Prime! Still, both modes are pretty impressive and he's not a pain to transform.

Honorable mention: Generations deluxe Cybertronian Megatron.

I have to say Generations War for Cybertron Megatron, too.
It's just so solid, and good, and bulky in its small way.

And he has a massive Deceptiface on his back!

Agreed. I have every variant of that mold, and it is truly incredible. His bot mode is just perfect and he pulls off a very 'big and bulky' feel even though he's a small deluxe.

That cannon on his arm is outstanding as well.

United Voyager Megatron, because I can never get enough of the voyager classics molds. Also WFC Megatron aint too bad for ya get out of him. Animated leader megs is... okay-ish, but I feel he's weighed down by the problems that come with being in that size class, A.K.A. big of electronics and/or other gimmickry. Specifically the talking mouth gimmick just makes his face look horrible.

It's FunPub. It's their specialty.

I have to say Animated leader is my favorite in the past 5 years. Great G1 homage, good proportions, colors are nice, rotating rotors, cool sounds, and an unexpected alt mode. Great figure.
Weird request here. If anyone has an extra Classics Skywarp or Dirge missile please PM me. I need one.

Yeah but trigger placement behind is back seems awkward.

I thought of that one as well. Even the repaint kicks ass.

ROTF leader Megatron also has a great look, IMO. Superdetailed and ANGRY.
