Both done for Custom Celebration IV over at JoeCustoms.
Torpedo is a simple headswap and minor repaint (the irises on the original figure were orange) of an ARC Heavy Gunner head onto ROC Shipwreck's body. Never liked how Hasbro insists on removing Shipwreck's unique functions by making him yet another SEAL, so turning him into Torpedo solved the problem.

Cobra De A?o is a bit more ambitious, using a "Pilot Destro" body with Jin Saotome-esque levels of dry brushing, although not done for weathering, but rather to tone down the bright red of the body, without going entirely black (my Rise Of Cobra Cobra army is already drowning in black enough as it is. :P ). Kept the blue armoring... Contrasts a lot better with the body than yellow would have. Did give him a yellow ascot though, to tie him back to his original Brazil color scheme. Head is from a Star Wars droid called CZ-4, who had a great techy look while having organic aesthetics mixed in. It was a perfect fit for other ROC helmets like Cobra Commander's and the Neo-Viper's. And thanks to the deeper Star Wars neck balls, he manages not be long-necked like Pilot Destro was.
