	The Combatrons were freed from captivity and brought to the [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] of [[2021]] by [[Unicron]], who also [[reformatting\|reformatted]] them into new, stronger bodies. When it turned out Unicron was intending to wipe them from existence once they were no longer useful to him, they combined into the upgraded Ruination and attacked the Chaos-Bringer. {{storylink\|Ruination Chapter, Part One}} Ruination let his guard down with the arrival of [[Grand Scourge]], who claimed to be Scourge, allowing Grand Scourge to strike him and force him to start disappearing again. Fortunately, the real Scourge showed up and interrupted the process by attacking Grand Scourge, allowing Ruination to send the impostor flying with a mighty barrage. Turning his attention towards Unicron again, he successfully disconnected the Chaos-Bringer's head from Cybertron, allowing other combiners to defeat him and preventing him from undoing the future the Combatrons hailed from. Together with Scourge and Sky-Byte, Ruination then traveled into that future to save their leader, Devil Gigatron. {{storylink\|Ruination Chapter, Part Two}}		The Combatrons were freed from captivity and brought to the [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] of [[2021]] by [[Unicron]], who also [[reformatting\|reformatted]] them into new, stronger bodies.

			*Unlike Bruticus, tank component Armorhide when Ruination is in his "Flight Mission" configuration is attached with his tank turret on the back of the leg as opposed to [[Brawl (G1)\|Brawl]] having his turret on the shin.

The two names have similar pronunciation in Japanese. For years, the correct [[Japanese language\|Romanization]] of said name was up in the air, with "Baldigus" and "Valdigus" being the most popular fan spellings, until his ''Unite Warriors'' release provided an official Romanized spelling. Though, a Japanese model sheet did feature his name spelled, rather unfortunately, as "BARDIGAS".<ref>[http://photobucket.com/gallery/user/UndertakerPrime/media/cGF0aDpNb2JpbGUgVXBsb2Fkcy9pbWFnZV96cHNjMzk3bzB1Ny5qcGVn/?ref= ''Car Robots'' "BARDIGAS" model sheet]</ref>
	*~~He has~~ the most awesome name of any combiner, ever. Well, technically, he's tied with the ''other'' [[Ruination (FOC)\|combiner named Ruination]] on that front, but he had the name first. How he ranks compared to [[Slayride]], [[Sinnertwin (G1)\|Sinnertwin]], and [[Shreddicus Maximus]] in terms of best name ever is debatable, but he's up there.		*His English name is the most awesome name of any combiner, ever.

	'''Ruination''' ~~(aka '''Baldigus''')~~ is the [[combiner\|combined]] form of the [[Commando (RID)\|Commandos]], the Decepticons' military squad. While the minds and bodies of all five Commandos come together to make him, [[Armorhide (RID)\|Armorhide]], [[Movor]], [[Rollbar (RID)\|Rollbar]], and [[Ro-Tor (RID)\|Ro-Tor]] cede all control to their leader [[Mega-Octane]] to make Ruination a more coordinated, intelligent and deadly warrior, whose only interest is in fighting.

	Making things worse for his opponents is his ability to swap his limbs around to adapt to whatever combat situation he finds himself in. "Flight Mission" mode puts Ro-Tor and Movor in the arm sockets, enabling Ruination to fly. "Land Mission" mode has Armorhide and Rollbar in arm mode, giving him increased power on the ground. This deadly combination of brains and brawn makes Ruination so fierce and powerful that even [[Megatron (RID)\|Megatron]] is wary around him.
