Revavroom seems to be based on a multi-cylinder {{wp|internal combustion engine}}, and the rocks attached to its body make Revavroom resemble an {{wp|automobile}}. The grill and spikes on its fascia combine to form a skull, which is a common icon for toxic substances. Revavroom may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|flying car}} trope found throughout fantasy and science fiction. Revavroom's Starmobile forms seem to be based on {{wp|dekotora}}, a Japanese style of modifying trucks with elaborate stainless steel parts, murals and LED lights. Revavroom's access to moves such as {{m|Parting Shot}}, {{m|Torment}}, and {{m|Taunt}} may reference the phenomenon of {{wp|road rage}}. | Revavroom seems to be based on a multi-cylinder {{wp|internal combustion engine}}, and the rocks attached to its body make Revavroom resemble an {{wp|automobile}}.
