Machamp appears to be based on a {{wp|bodybuilder}} or wrestler. Also, due to having four arms, it could have been inspired by {{wp|Kintaro (Mortal Kombat)|Kintaro}}, a boss character from {{wp|Mortal Kombat II}}. Seeing as it has more than two arms, and blue skin, Machamp might also be based on a Hindu god, perhaps {{wp|Shiva}} or {{wp|Vishnu}}. Also, due to having four arms, it could have been inspired by Tenshinhan, a character from the Dragonball Series, in the series, Tenshinhan has the ability to grow an additional set of arms. | Machamp appears to be based on a {{wp|bodybuilder}} or wrestler.
