Crimson Twins History
Tomax and Xamot, A.K.A The Crimson Twins, first appeared in the G.I Sunbow cartoon mini series “Pyramid of Darkness”. The power hungry twins, leaders of the Crimson Guard and executives of Extensive Enterprises, were constantly trying to win Cobra Commander’s approval. Often dressed in power suits, but most notably recognized in their mirrored matching blue and crimson red outfits. Being twins, as such the stereotype, felt each other’s pain and would speak in tandem and finish each other’s sentences, oh’ brother!
According to Wikipedia:
Tomax and Xamot Paoli (also called the Crimson Twins or Crimson Guard Commanders) are fictional characters from the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toyline, comic books and animated series. They are the co-leaders of Cobra‘s elite troops, the Crimson Guard, and debuted in 1985. Their preliminary names were Movat and Tovam. The Paoli brothers speak in notable accents which show they are from Corsica.
Source: Tomax and Xamot – Wikipedia
The brothers were at some point members of the Unione Corse (Corsican Brotherhood), served in the French Foreign Legion‘s 1erREP in Algeria, then as mercenaries in Africa (Congo, southern Africa) and South America. While they relished this, they realized they would soon become too old and weak to be soldiers forever, so they changed careers and studied banking in Zurich, Switzerland.[2] Unhappy with the world of corporate finance, the brothers found the opportunities available in international terrorism far more suited to their abilities, and joined Cobra. Their specialties are in infiltration, espionage (military and industrial), sabotage, propaganda, and corporate law. Like the Crimson Guard that they lead, Xamot and Tomax also lead the “respectable” corporate face of Cobra as the founders, owners, and CEOs of Extensive Enterprises.
When not engaged in terrorism, they efficiently manage Cobra’s business affairs in shirt and tie. Their preferred mode of attack is through brains over brawn, using the law to serve the purposes of Cobra. They have covered their paper trail and connection to Cobra so well, that it is thought to be impossible to prove a connection between them and the terrorist organization. The twin brothers are mirror images of each other; Tomax’s hair is parted on the right side of his head and Xamot’s on the left; the piping on their uniforms goes up the opposite side on each twin; the brothers’ names are mirror images of one another. The only distinguishing mark between the two is a scar on Xamot’s right cheek. Tomax and Xamot share an empathic connection commonly known as “The Corsican Syndrome” in which identical twins are believed to be psychically bonded, in a manner similar to The Corsican Brothers (1844) by Alexandre Dumas, père. While this psychic connection is often useful, as it allows them to communicate wordlessly, finish each other’s sentences, and speak in unison, it is also a liability as they feel each other’s pain.
Tomax and Xamot – Wikipedia
First released by Hasbro in 1985 Tomax and Xamot, came in a special mirrored 2 pack labeled ” Crimson Guard Commanders”. The action figures were a staple of the G.I. Joe A Real American Toy Line. They included laser pistols, a zip line and sky hook accessories.
As you can see, the vintage Tomax and Xamot figures were mirror images of each other. Dressed in matching blue outfits, and just like the Classified figures included crimson slashes, silver shoulder pauldrons, silver Cobra logos and cobras shaped belt buckles and shin guards. Of course Xamot had the scar on his face and his shoulder pauldron on the left side. Even back in 1985, these figures were stunning representations of the Crimson Twins we loved on the Sunbow cartoon series. They also came packed with matching weapons.
