A large heavily armored train bristling with weapons. The Panzerhandschuh runs along tracks the encircle satellite cities and boarders and will act as a mobile "gun wall" in defense situations.
Armed with a number of missile batteries, linear cannons, grenade launchers, gattling guns and AA guns. The Panzerhandschuh hits hard and can dish out the damage

[link] next to the train as it could of turned out better I guess :/

This is awesome!! I want to ride the choo-choo train! Oh wait... never mind.
Just a suggestion, perhaps a plow/battering ram to shove obstacles/wreckage off the tracks(always something the enemy would target), the forward firing guns could be enfiladed inside the armored prow. Another thing would be perhaps to make the cars lower, so as not to present such a big target, the guns could be housed in flatter-profiled turrets, pairs to a car, so they can cover both sides.
Sloping armor as well
You can also have mobile pillboxes/bunkers that can be delivered to any part of the battleline via carrier aircraft in addition to the mecha,artillery, missile batteries and armored trains.
I was thinking that ball turret looked awfully vulnerable hanging out front like that, impacts might compress it
True true, I'm sure those panels also conceal missile bays and additional guns, plus mech bays. But always remember, the biggest baddest scariest thing you have will always attract the most amount of fire from the enemy, why aircraft carriers are called 'bomb magnets'. So it's always a good idea to mitigate, e.g. more armor, speed, lower profile, ablative armor in the form of drone gunships/mechs, extra shielding etc etc
