==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.

==From the back cover==
{{quote|''In the 3050's, the discoveries of long-buried [[Star League]] records led to a plethora of new cutting-edge [[BattleMech]] and vehicle designs by the end of that decade, resurrected from the blue prints of design firms centuries old and thought lost to antiquity. Now, ten years later, these designs have moved from novelty to workhorse, as the [[Inner Sphere]] once more finds itself at war!''

''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.''}}
