The Rust Bucket 2 is Max Tennyson's replacement RV, obtained after its predecessor was destroyed. 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 Rust Bucket, but is missing the satellite dishes and atenna from its roof. The Rust Bucket 2 also has blue-tinted windows, whereas the old Rust Bucket's windows were black-tinted. And it appears to be slightly longer than the original.
