Looks like IDW are in full swing with the return of the Spotlight concept, with another one for February - Megatron.
Even though Megatron had his own mini-series, so did Drift, and he got a Spotlight as well. Plus, Optimus has technically had two Spotlights, with the Orion Pax spotlight coming out next month.
As noted by the Previews descriptions below, the Megatron spotlight is set in the "recent past", as in, it is during the present era (when Megatron was absent during the Ongoing series).

TRANSFORMERS MORE THAN MEETS EYE ONGOING #14
