==Description==
 
The '''''Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade''''' (''TRO:3058 Upgrade'') was released in 2006 and is part of a wider attempt to summarize and consolidate unit designs originating from the earliest ''TRO''-releases. Unlike other ''TRO's'' from Upgrade-series it containes no new artwork for designs presented. It is the second ''TRO:3058'' (after original ''[[Technical Readout: 3058|TRO:3058]]'' (1995) and being the only one, not following an earlier ''Revised''-release). It was the second book as well in the Upgrade series (with ''[[Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade|TRO:3055 Upgrade]]'' (2005) publicised the year before and ''[[Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade|TRO:3050 Upgrade]]'' (2007) following).

''TRO:3058 Upgrade'' purports to be [[3070]] review from [[Wolfnet]] on the original ''TRO:3058''. It was the first ''TRO'' containing detailed info on [[battle armor]] units, summarizing relevant descriptions from various other other sources (notably the ''Field Manual''-series of books). As with other ''TRO Upgrade'' it contains information on notable [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] and crews, as well as new variants of already introduced designs.

''Fully updated to circa 3070, Classic BattleTech ''Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade'' launches these designs into the current time frame, including notable MechWarriors/crews, as well as new variants. Additionally, a battle armor section has been included, providing full Classic BattleTech stats, and updating the histories for these twenty venerable designs.''}}
