And are you actually adapting any elements from those inspirations, in addition to tone, mood, style or genre?
Forgot to answer this part. Yes a bunch of this is adapted to varying degrees into the game.
I am running a 5e D&D conversion of the Iron Gods adventure Path.
Army of Darkness.
Magic chainsaw swung like a sword, a PC got their hand cut off by it on a crit then killed the orc wielding it and claimed it as their warlock pact weapon.
Just mood and tone and setting. Paizo's Numeria background for the AP is very much a bunch of Thundarr in inspiration and theme.
Road Runner Looney Tunes.
A non-divine PC kobold bard wanted to join an Acme cult so I combined Acme as a franchise scheme for the Forgotten Realms dragon cult of Asterinian the dragon god patron of humor and discovery through inventions who in my game might just be a copper dragon with a lair somewhere in the setting. Later a second player's PC became an Acme cult cleric. I then had a branch of the cult in the starting town instead of the clockwork goddess and for the hidden cultist in Scrapwall who joined the party. Lot's of Acme themed stuff, spirit guardians manifests as anvils, clockwork Rube Goldberg things at the cult headquarters. The creation bard creates dynamite for his song of creation fairly regularly. A one shot magic paint to create a portal worked fantastically to let one person through then the next party member following crashed into the solid wall the portal was painted on.
Big Scrapwall Arena fights on Sundays! Sundays! Sundays! Mostly just thematics.
Star Trek Voyager for the holo doctor.
Artificer robot/warforged PC who was created from recovered robot parts and has minor healing had his first words when activated be "Please state the nature of the medical emergency."
One pc is a tortle warlock with flaming eldritch blast breath and flight spell from spinning.
Star Trek The Next Generation for the Romulans.
Ancient Androffans speak elvish, and are revealed in the shuttle ghost flashback to be elves with bowl cut haircuts.
The artificer using disguise self keeps saying he is a meat popsicle.
Mostly violent post apocalyptic gang thematics with ridiculous displays like FR's blind flamethrower bard.
Acme cleric is in steampunk 40K space marine plate mail. He also picked up a magical power fist gauntlet from a Helion priestess and converted it to Acme with an integrated holy symbol and integrated it into his plate mail. The Romulan Androffan elves are kind of Eldar as well.
Are there any paranoia novels?
Corrupted insane docbots have been a theme, the tortle's backstory is he is an alien baby dragon turtle picked up by androffan scientists but eventually he was pulled out of his suspended animation to save an orc who had his torso and head blown away, so the docbots healed the orc by cutting off the dragon turtles limbs and using his torso to save the orc limbs. Surgical success!
Also color coded access areas.
Big plot device of your friend the insane schizo computer who runs an entire complex
Necrosurgeon turned prisoners into Robomen from Doctor One Dalek invasion of Earth. Some robots have initiated combat saying with Dalek "Extermination" speeches.
The replicant story fits in well with the android ones.
Orcs with Mandalorian jet packs. Cantina scenes.
There have been robot artificer PC decking scenes.
Werewolf the Apocalypse novels.
A lot of Werewolf cosmology stuff as two PCs were actual WtA concept characters (human druid reskinned as lupus werewolf, and shifter barbarian as a werebear). I have also played up the cosmology a lot with spirit scenes, the paizo hunter agiculture elk god as the werewolf patron spirit stag, turning Redfang into an actual WtA werewolf, having the Kellid tribes and their druidism being a werewolf thing, turned the Xill into a werespider, etc.
Mage the Ascension novels.
The Technocratic League of Void Engineers. Tying the pathfinder technomage society into a bunch of technocracy stuff.
What are you doing Dave? Mostly thematics.
1980s WWF involving Randy "Macho Man" Savage. Slim Jim commercials would be fine too.
Turned an orc cleric of Helion into an Orc Macho Man wrestler bard radio televangelist.
Turned the xill Lord of Rust into a WtA werespider who looked like the spiderwoman from Ben 10.
The tortle PC is an inversion, a cranky old man turtle with no stealth.
Thomas the Tank Engine.
The Dark Tower with Blaine the Train.
The party got Helion's underground assault train working (more 40K thematics as a space marine termite carrier mixed with ridiculous steampunk mining drill train), one PC is an orcish "engine hear" who talks to its hungry aggressive spirit and gets it motivated to go places at ludicrous speeds in between sleeping bouts.
