The AT-M6 (all-terrain megacalibre six) heavy assault walker has internal troop transport capacity for a dozen soldiers. Due to the walker's combination of impervious armour, heavy firepower, troop-transport ability, the gargantuan size and modest speed, I classify the AT-M6 as "Mechanised Infantry Tank" comparable to the Imperial AT-AT.
Note the AT-M6 is protected by an "ultra-dense matrixed composite armour". and the walker itself would mass thousands of tonnes. Despite this incredible mass, the recoil from the main heavy laser cannon is still considerable. Even the Imperial AT-AT could carry a mass of ~3,500 tonnes and the AT-ACT could carry many thousands of metric tonnes (several times greater than the AT-AT), including "ultra dense fuels" and "construction materials".
Although I classify both the AT-M6 and AT-AT heavy assault walkers under the same combat-role category of "Mechanised Infantry Tank", the former has a much greater emphasis on firepower and the latter on transport capacity. The AT-M6 is also much larger.
Specific combat roles of the AT-M6 heavy assault walker:
Mechanised Infantry Tank
- Breakthrough Tank
-- Defense / Breakthrough and (combined) Armoured Infantry Assault
- Self-Propelled-Artillery
-- direct-fire turbolaser
- Armoured Troop Transport
-- Crossing 'no mans land'

![Turbolasers the size of Iowa battleships! (canon)
The heaviest turbolaser turrets on an Imperial star destroyer MKI (Imperator) are fifty meters in diameter and easily an order of magnitude larger than the [real world] turrets mounted on the US Iowa battleships, which carried 16 inch (cal) guns.
Considering the Imperators turbolasers sheer size they must each weigh more than ten thousands metric tons. Because they are both an order of magnitude larger and several orders of magnitude more advanced than Iowas cannons, they must also be many* orders of magnitude more effective within their optimum range (i.e capable of megaton+ yields).

Note the Iowas guns could blast an area of thousands of square meters with a single explosive shell. The guns could also fire special low yield nuclear devices known as Katie shells with a yield of ~20 kilotons (several orders of magnitude more energetic than the standard shells which had a sub kiloton yield).

The ISD turret is similarly voluminous overall to the Iowa battleship.
