Although a Chaos 40K Obliterator has very little to do with Pathfinder I'm interested so see if its possible to build something mechanically similar to one.
Basically the traits of an Obliterator are being able draw from a variety of weapons switching each round as required with little effort. Heavy Armor and a slow yet unstoppable speed very much a juggernaught of sorts.
Of course sci-fi weapons don't translate all that well and a bow doesn't exactly equal a lascannon/rocketlauncher/meltagun. But maybe there's a combination of classes that could make this work ?
My first thought was Straight Fighter with quickdraw as they can easily have bonuses to multiple weapon groups and quickdraw would allow quickly switching between them. (Is there something like a quick sheathe feat that would let you sheathe and draw each round ?)
However that doesn't really help the ranged side of things although I though maybe arcane archer with imbue arrows could mimic some of the different types of ranged weapons ? although that would result in a weaker melee.
Anyway I'm looking for crazy out of the box ideas to make something like this work.
Half-Construct 2xMultiarmed Homebrew Race Alchemist with 2xVestigial Arm Discovery ,you don´t need to switch you can just wield
all the Weapons you want when you have 6 arms.Also the kinds of Weapons that Alchemists use are somewhat closer to what an Obliterator would shape,probably also with EWP Firearms.
Metal Oracle with the lame curse. Then take Skill at Arms and Iron Weapon as your first two revelations.

i would second the synthesist, and then add on gun smithing for the cannons. large sized scatter gun, or if you like to multi class i would say the spell slinger (firearm) archetype for wizard to shoot energy blasts. or you could get a wand of scorching ray and fluff it as a cannon. you would need the extra arms evolutions, claws, and large sized.
it would be as close as you can get without making something outside of the rules.
