Originally in the cartoon they are the business facade of Cobra, one of the main ways Cobra can fund their endeavors. They are also the guys who train the Crimson Guards, Cobra's elite troopers. Their weird quirk is that they have some kind of Corsican brothers type of psychic link where if one gets hurt the other feels it. They are rarely not in each others company and to talk to them is like talking to one person with two mouths as they finish each others sentences or even say the same thing at the same time.
They normally are mirror images of themselves, reversed clothing, parts in the hair, even their names Tomax and Xamot are mirrors. The telling difference is that one (I think it's Xamot) has a scar on his cheek where the other does not. Here is their '85 file card... YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Tomax & Xamot As well as the Crimson Guard file card... YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Crimson Guard My memory is a bit of a mix of file cards, cartoon and comic so its a little muddled (I'm sure someone will correct me on this) but if Cobra was the armed terrorists these guys were the financial terrorists. One of the major aspects of the twins use of the Crimson Guards is infiltrating rival businesses where they would get into positions of power and bring the company down from the inside and the twins would sweep in and do a hostile takeover. Afterwards it would become an extension of Cobra. Another bit with the guards training was to be like a sleeper agent, supposedly there were hundreds of Crimson Guards positioned all over the world, leading inconspicuous lives with wives and children but secretly waiting for orders from Cobra. Their main training ground was Springfield (this is where the final battle takes place in Resolute if you have seen it) The neat twist with Renegades is that Cobra is now an insidious corporation rather then an amassed army and the Commander is now more like what the twins were. So to make the twins leaders of a brainwashing cult and still training, at least their version of, the Crimson Guards is in my opinion a cool and perverse twist. Cobra has their own version of Scientology. Very clever.
