Looks in  eed of a Cobra sigil to me...

He has one - on his chest - on his vest. Look closer.

Ashiko's head, if this is indeed, Ashiko's head, was originally from RoC Flash.  http://www.yojoe.com/action/12/ashiko.shtml

Thanks for pointing out the head source, Emags. I didn't realize that Ashiko's head was reused from another figure. Now if I were better at identifying parts, I'd know based on the rest of the figure whether the head came from Ashiko or Flash.

Blitzkrieg

Aside from the head I don't think anything is from Ashiko or Flash.

I've pieced it together but I'll let someone else try to break down the parts. ;)

Lower legs are Ashiko's as well.

I wanted to say the head was Flash's or Skydive's because Ashiko's has a darker skin tone in the eye holes, but the lower legs being Ashiko's/Wraith's makes an occam's razor straight to Ashiko being the source of the head.

Torso and arms seem to be from ROC Rampage (Mutt chest/Hawk arms). With the dye, it's a bit harder to pinpoint the exact source of the upper legs and vest.
I wonder if the Rampages were acquired via Chinese sellers, or if the RHINO is going to be part of the con set.

Mate, think the lower legs are from the Hiss Scout tank.

If the number of "x"s is intentional, and under the assumption that the head came from Ashiko, I am going to guess that the second word is C-Y-C-L-E with some snake-like name for the first word.

As far as I can see Jay nailed it. I didn't realize Wraith's lower legs were also Ashiko's legs. So got me on that one.  ;)

I knew the arms were Hawks but again, didn't know they were also used on Rumbler. A Rumbler body makes more sense then Hawk and I knew something was off with the belt line showing. Hawk's torso has bumps on the bottom, Rumbler doesn't.

Good eye Jay.
