Ravage 3 Bodies Evolution is a particularly infamous Transformers fanfic published by Deathy, AKA TigerMegatron on alt.toys.transformers in 2001. Written in script format, it attempts to explain why the Decepticon Ravage had three different toys. It swiftly shot to fame and a decade later fans still quote lines from the story on message boards.
Summary
RAVAGE: "JHIAXUS, how is it possible that you live,I thought you died in the TF generation 2 comics #11.
Following the failure of the Voks' plan to send Tigerhawk to prehistoric Earth near the end of the Beast Wars cartoon, they recruit Ravage in an attempt to destroy the Transformers. Granting Ravage a new body, they send him to 2005, where Ravage interrupts peace negotiations between Optimus Prime and Megatron and has Hot Rod interfere with the ensuing fight. The Vok next give Ravage another new body and send him to prehistoric Earth, and events play out as onscreen in the Beast Wars cartoon. On his return from Earth, Ravage encounters Jhiaxus, who has wiped out the Vok and bestows yet another new body on him. Ravage is sent to Cybertron at the beginning of Beast Machines to instruct the Oracle on guiding Optimus Primal and his Maximals, and turns the reins of his rebellion over to Magmatron.
