Ben 10 Fan Fiction Wiki:Archive/Rust Bucket

The Rust Bucket is Grandpa Max's RV. It is a replica of a GMC Classic Motorhome. It is kitted with a lot of Plumbers' gear, which includes a lasers and jets. Its license plate number is "S81Z1M".

Despite having post-space age weapons and capabilities, the Rust Bucket also has a faulty toilet and an air conditioner which was broken by Grey Matter.

Max has apparently lost several of these vehicles.

Original Series
In The Visitor, the Rust Bucket gets blown into pieces, and was able to be reassembled in less than one full day. Whether this was story convenience or a specific aspect of the vehicle's engineering is unknown.

In Ben 4 Good Buddy, it can be seen, that various clicks and buttoning can create a type of effect to the Rust Bucket such as firing ice cubes or making the hydraulic turn on.

Ben 10: Race Against Time
The first time the Rust Bucket appeared in the movie was after Heatblast "destroyed" Eon and the theme song came on. The Rust Bucket was blown to pieces by Eon later in the movie (Ben 10: Race Against Time).

Alien Force
In Ben 10: Alien Force, there is a new Rust Bucket, the Rust Bucket 2, because the old broke down. It looks like the old one, but has a slightly different image, for example, the satellite dishes that were the on roof of the first Rust Bucket are gone, and the windows on the Rust Bucket 2 are blue tinted, as the old Rust Bucket's windows are black tinted. It first appeared in Ben 10 Returns: Part 1. it is later stolen by Kevin in Kevin's Big Score.

Possible Future
In Ben 10,000, the Rust Bucket is upgraded with new advanced hi-technology. The inside also looks quite bright. The RV can also fly. A door in the Rust Bucket also leads to a chamber which contains the Null Void Projector which had to be moved due to Dr.Animo's actions.
