Tomax and Xamot
- Tomax and Xamot are human twins from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Tomax and Xamot are twins who work in Cobra as the leaders of the Crimson Guard. Each looks like the other's reflection (meaning what one has on the left, the other has on the right), aside from a scar across Xamot's left cheek.
They share an almost symbiotic bond, finishing each other's sentences and feeling each other's pain.
Fiction
G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers continuity
Tomax and Xamot accompanied Cobra Commander to the facility in Boston to test out their teleportation device using a link with Teletran 3. However, the G.I. Joe team interfered, and thanks to their attack, the device malfunctioned and transported them all to Cybertron, before going haywire and transporting Transformers across time. Shockwave tried to destroy the gathered humans, but a timely rescue by Ultra Magnus and Perceptor put an end to it. When Ultra Magnus asked the humans for help, the twins were the first to realize that it meant G.I. Joe and Cobra would have to call a truce and go rescue the time-lost Cybertronians. Tomax and Xamot teamed with Doctor Mindbender, Barbecue and Spirit G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #1 and ended up in an apocalyptic future that would come to pass should the humans fail in their tasks. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #2
Rescued from a Sweep assault by the Dreadnoks, the team was shocked to realize they'd all died fifteen years prior in this timeline. The 'Noks took them to see their leader, a crippled, cyborg Duke, who refused to help in their task. The Dreadnok Torch, however, decided to help them as a means of avoiding this nightmare of a world from ever happening. As he helped them find a Cybertronian he only referred to as "The Autobot", the group was ambushed by a swarm of Insecticons. Revealing Cybertronian upgrades for themselves, the twins linked up their arms and fired devastating beams with their opposite hands, wiping out a hefty portion of the swarm. An EMP grenade from Torch took care of the rest, but next they encountered a horde of Ravage-esque robots. With Torch being out of EMP grenades and the twins not being able to use their weapon upgrade for another half-hour, things looked grim. Fortunately, they were again rescued, this time by "The Autobot"…Ratchet!
One quick explanation later, Ratchet refused to return to the present with them until he saved a number of enslaved humans from a Decepticon factory. The Joes and Cobras were reluctantly forced to agree. Using Ratchet as a distraction, Xamot and Tomax managed to use their link-up blast to destroy one of three Reflector guards, and while Ratchet fought the remaining two, the team rescued the humans and ensured their safe escape. Following the rescue, Ratchet refused to leave because even if he went back, they might still not be able to stop Shockwave from using Teletran 3 to burn Earth and leave it ripe for conquest. Fed up with Ratchet, Barbecue decided to stop asking and simply stuck the recall device on him, taking them all back to present-day Cybertron, where Ratchet was promptly blasted by Shockwave. Realizing Ultra Magnus's force field had failed and they were now in Decepticon hands, the twins attempted a link-up, but Tomax was shot and killed by Shockwave. Xamot was left lamenting the death of his twin brother. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #3
Xamot found himself rescued along with a few others, but remained in shock from the death of Tomax. After Roadblock and Lady Jaye managed to hit the recall button for the last team, who brought the Dinobots along with them, Shockwave's forces were pushed back and the humans were allowed to return to Earth, Xamot included. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #4
Much later, Tomax was listed as captured in G.I. Joe's database, despite being dead. Perhaps they had captured Xamot but couldn't tell the difference. Black Horizon, Part 1 of 2
