Well, this is certainly a unique tank design, and definitely one f the most heavily armed, although it is nearly impossibly to tell exactly how large this thing really is. Maybe it's the camera angle, but it looks small to me. Like, probably 5 to 6 meters in length. Although, I think that feels also comes from the tread design. If I were designing this, I would've left the treads as single-tracked, as opposed to double-wide. Mainly because, while the segmented, hinged drive-train is unique and would certainly improve on mobility issues present in traditional tanks, the extra width means extra friction that whatever system is used to turn must overcome to do the actual turning.
Also, you might consider lengthening the tracks so that they lead the vehicle, and making them deeper to give the vehicle greater clearance for potential hazards and obstacles. Also, the leading edges of of tank treads are usually fairly large, so that the engine doesn't have to strain with using a smaller surface to begin an angled ascent (steep hill)...
Unless this is intended as an urban vehicle, which I kinda get the feeling that it is, given the lack of a large main gun, and several smaller batteries that have the appearance of energy-weapon apertures. What with the hexagonal and square barrels.
Also, am I seeing a pair of radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG's) near the rear (self-contained nuclear generators)?
What do you think?

This only lacks in one respect: Fulfilling the original Fatboy's largest flaw which is the health-to-firepower ratio. Yes the old Fatboy was a glass cannon artillery unit, however it had a nasty tendency to get destroyed by any other land experimental in direct combat, due to its very underwhelming armour and health. The thing is that anything running under the shield (i.e. T3 Armoured/Heavy/Siege Assault Bots) in typical SupCom numbers means the unit is finished within seconds. The Fatboy needed an armour upgrade more than shield (though that would be nice too) or firepower upgrades. Mobility would be nice, but the Fatboy gets by and is balanced with other Experimentals in that respect.

I believe that the Fatboy should concentrate its guns along the centerline to offer better overall firepower (or with two turrets side by side in the front and then two turrets behind them that are superfiring i.e. fire over those) ro concentrate forward arc firepower. The rear would be unit manufacturing, air staging, and two missile (air or ground toggle) turrets on the rear track pods. The front track pods would mount a set of lighter turrets. This would allow all the firepower to be brought to bear within the forward 120-degree arc, and you can order the unit to drive in reverse when retreating, that would make it much easier to use.

Doomsday has obviously never experienced the epicness of Supreme Commander, Fatboys are what 200 meters wide and 250 long? The Fatboy 3 would probably be similar sized (or it would be too easy to hit with arty or arty splash)...
