The Veiled Threat

A NEST unit that was investigating a Decepticon sighting in Peru was ambushed on a narrow mountain road by Ruination and Blademaster. During the brief but intense fire-fight that followed, Blademaster was critically injured and fell from the mountain road hundreds of meters to the jungle below. Ruination broke off his attack to retrieve his partner and went off to heal his wounds. The Veiled Threat

IDW movie comics

After the Decepticons' defeat in Egypt, Ruination stuck by Starscream and joined him in his new endeavor of selling Cybertronian weapons to humans. Together with Deadlift, Ruination stood guard at Starscream's base in a junkyard outside Mexico City, but when Shockwave approached, the pair abandoned their posts in alarm to alert their boss. Ruination proved wiser than his little buddy, keeping out of the altercation between Starscream and Shockwave for fear of being blown to bits like Deadlift was. Rising Storm #1

With Starscream ordered by Shockwave to retrieve an escaped Brain Unit for him, Ruination was among the Decepticons sent to Philadelphia to carry out this task. Rising Storm #2 The unit had taken refuge with Sam Witwicky, so the Decepticons ended up facing a bunch of Autobots—Bumblebee, Wheeljack, and Mirage—sent to aid their allies. Rising Storm #3

Notes

• The Veiled Threat described Ruination as similar to the Decepticon Incinerator. Artist Carlos Magno redesigned him a bit for Rising Storm, but he was still visibly a helicopter.
