An interesting tidbit from my book, Star Wars: Complete Cross-Sections:
The AAT's energy shells cannot be replenished by the droid crew onboard. Instead, the shells are reloaded when the tank returns to a landing ship or battleship, where mechanical facilities take the entire inside of the "foot" off the tank from below. A loaded replacement is then installed in its place.
Who knew?

See Bricklink for parts information for today's build.

With all respect to Bricklink, I don't think that's an AAT. I think it's much more likely to be a Separatist Shuttle:

Yes! I saw that on fruitlesspursuits.com earlier today, and thought it was a much better fit! I haven't yet had time to write another post, but I completely agree. The overall shape fits much better with the Separatist shuttle.
Thank you!
