The Rustbucket 2 is Max Tennyson's replacement RV, obtained after its predecessor was destroyed.[note 1] It is outfitted with much of the same Plumbers' technology as the original, including jet propulsion and advanced laser weaponry.
Appearance[]
It is nearly identical in appearance to the first Rustbucket, but is missing the satellite dishes and antenna from its roof. The Rustbucket 2 also has blue-tinted windows, whereas the old Rustbucket's windows were black-tinted. And it appears to be slightly longer than the original.

In Ben 10: Omniverse, the Rustbucket 2 appears in the flashback events that were about Ben, Gwen, and Grandpa Max defeating any of the terrestrial and extraterrestrial threats that they encountered as well as going on adventures during the weekend trips that they had for a year.

Trivia[]
- The interiors of the Rustbucket 2 are worth a fortune.[2][1]
- The Rustbucket 2 was originally not meant to appear in Ben 10 Returns: Part 1, with the original Rustbucket taking its place.[script 1]
- The Rustbucket 2's design is heavily based on the GMC motorhome.
Notes[]
- ↑ Originally, the Rustbucket 2 was used by Max because the original was destroyed by Eon in Race Against Time.[pop-up 1] This is retconned in Ben 10,000 Returns as the events of the movie are stated to take place in an alternate timeline. Because of this retcon, it is unknown what happened to the original Rustbucket.[BTP 1]
