It is the third ''TRO:3050'' (after original ''[[Technical Readout: 3050|TRO:3050]]'' (1990) and ''[[Technical Readout: 3050 Revised|TRO:3050 Revised]]'' (1996)) and, as well, the third book in the Upgrade series (after ''[[Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade|TRO:3055 Upgrade]]'' (2005) and ''[[Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade|TRO:3058 Upgrade]]'' (2006)). At the same time it was the first ''TRO'' released since ''[[Total Warfare]]'' and ''[[TechManual]]'' introduced new equipment and consolidated existing gameplay and construction rules. The ambitious book covers all [['Mechs]] from ''3050 Revised'', including the [[Star League]] 'Mechs, [[combat vehicle]]s, and [[aerospace fighter]]s that were added from ''[[Technical Readout: 2750]]''. It is structured in "Inner Sphere", "Clan", and "Star League" sections, with only the latter containing vehicle and fighter designs. As with titles from Upgrades-series, information is provided on famous pilots and historical references are updated to [[3071]]. Like its predecessor ''TRO:3050 Revised'', it excludes the [[Unseen]], which got their update in separate release ''[[Technical Readout: Project Phoenix]]''. At the same time ''TRO:3050 Upgrade'' is the first ''TRO'' to contain design variants that make use of [[3069]]-era technology. ==From the back cover== {{quote|''Over two hundred and fifty years ago, General [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] departed human-occupied space, taking three-quarters of the [[Star League Defense Force]] with him. They returned in [[3050]] as the [[Clans]]: a society dedicated to the highest warrior ideals and bent on conquering the [[Inner Sphere]]. With their [[OmniMech]]s and superior technology, they proved almost unstoppable until their defeat at [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Tukayyid]] and subsequent 15 year truce. The year is now [[3071]], and the [[Jihad]] rages. Inner Sphere [['Mechs]], hastily upgraded with field modifications to counter the Clans, continue to prove their worth. Notable pilots rise to become heroes as new, time tested variants&mdash;sporting weapons right out of R&D labs&mdash;make their presence known. And over it all, Clan OmniMechs continue to prove they are still the cutting edge of technology.'' ''Classic BattleTech Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade™ fully updates this venerable product, fleshing out the history of each design, including notable [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]]s/pilots, as well as providing fresh illustrations. Additionally, all the 'Mechs, vehicles, and aerospace fighters originally found in the now out-of-print ''[[Technical Readout: 2750]]'' are included.''}} ==Table of Contents== <div class="desktop-3-col"> ;Introduction ;Inner Sphere BattleMechs : ''[[Flea]]'' : ''[[Hornet]]'' : ''[[Commando]]'' : ''[[Falcon]]'' : ''[[Firefly]]'' : ''[[Javelin]]'' : ''[[Spider]]'' : ''[[UrbanMech]]'' : ''[[Firestarter (BattleMech)|Firestarter]]'' : ''[[Jenner]]'' : ''[[Panther]]'' : ''[[Raven]]'' : ''[[Wolfhound]]'' : ''[[Assassin]]'' : ''[[Cicada]]'' : ''[[Clint]]'' : ''[[Hermes II]]'' : ''[[Vulcan (BattleMech)|Vulcan]]'' : ''[[Whitworth]]'' : ''[[Blackjack (BattleMech)|Blackjack]]'' : ''[[Hatchetman]]'' : ''[[Vindicator]]'' : ''[[Wolf Trap]]'' : ''[[Centurion (BattleMech)|Centurion]]'' : ''[[Enforcer]]'' : ''[[Hunchback]]'' : ''[[Trebuchet]]'' : ''[[Dervish]]'' : ''[[Hoplite]]'' : ''[[Grand Dragon]]'' : ''[[Quickdraw]]'' : ''[[Axman]]'' : ''[[Catapult]]'' : ''[[JagerMech]]'' : ''[[Caesar]]'' : ''[[Cataphract]]'' : ''[[Grasshopper]]'' : ''[[Orion]]'' : ''[[Awesome]]'' : ''[[Charger]]'' : ''[[Hatamoto-Chi]]'' : ''[[Victor]]'' : ''[[Zeus]]'' : ''[[Katana (BattleMech)|Katana (Crockett)]]'' : ''[[Shogun]]'' : ''[[Stalker]]'' : ''[[Cyclops]]'' : ''[[Mauler]]'' : ''[[Banshee (BattleMech)|Banshee]]'' : ''[[Annihilator]]'' : ''[[Atlas (BattleMech)|Atlas]]'' : ''[[Imp]]'' ;Clan OmniMechs : ''[[Fire Moth (Dasher)|Dasher]]'' : ''[[Mist Lynx (Koshi)|Koshi]]'' : ''[[Kit Fox (Uller)|Uller]]'' : ''[[Adder (Puma)|Puma]]'' : ''[[Viper (Dragonfly)|Dragonfly]]'' : ''[[Ice Ferret (Fenris)|Fenris]]'' : ''[[Nova (Black Hawk)|Black Hawk]]'' : ''[[Stormcrow (Ryoken)|Ryoken]]'' : ''[[Mad Dog (Vulture)|Vulture]]'' : ''[[Hellbringer (Loki)|Loki]]'' : ''[[Summoner (Thor)|Thor]]'' : ''[[Timber Wolf (Mad Cat)|Mad Cat]]'' : ''[[Gargoyle (Man O' War)|Man O' War]]'' : ''[[Warhawk (Masakari)|Masakari]]'' : ''[[Executioner (Gladiator)|Gladiator]]'' : ''[[Dire Wolf (Daishi)|Daishi]]'' ;Star League : '''Star League Vehicles''' :: [[Gabriel (Combat Vehicle)|Gabriel]] :: [[Ripper (Combat Vehicle)|Ripper]] :: [[Beagle (Combat Vehicle)|Beagle]] (hover scout) :: [[Rotunda]] :: [[Nightshade (Combat Vehicle)|Nightshade]] :: [[Cyrano]] :: [[Lightning (Combat Vehicle)|Lightning]] :: [[Zephyr (Combat Vehicle)|Zephyr]] :: [[Chaparral]] :: [[Kanga]] :: [[Thor (Combat Vehicle)|Thor]] (artillery vehicle) :: [[Demon (Combat Vehicle)|Demon]] :: [[Marksman (Combat Vehicle)|Marksman]] :: [[Magi]] :: [[Burke (Combat Vehicle)|Burke]] :: [[Fury (Combat Vehicle)|Fury]] :: [[Rhino (Combat Vehicle)|Rhino]] :: [[Puma (Combat Vehicle)|Puma]] (assault tank) : '''Star League BattleMechs''' :: ''[[Mercury (BattleMech)|Mercury]]'' :: ''[[Thorn (BattleMech)|Thorn]]'' :: ''[[Mongoose]]'' :: ''[[Hermes]]'' :: ''[[Hussar]]'' :: ''[[Sentinel]]'' :: ''[[Wyvern]]'' :: ''[[Crab]]'' :: ''[[Kintaro]]'' :: ''[[Champion]]'' :: ''[[Lancelot]]'' :: ''[[Bombardier]]'' :: ''[[Exterminator]]'' :: ''[[Guillotine]]'' :: ''[[Black Knight]]'' :: ''[[Flashman]]'' :: ''[[Thug]]'' :: ''[[Crockett]]'' :: ''[[Highlander]]'' :: ''[[King Crab]]'' : '''Star League aerospace fighters''' :: ''[[Trident]]'' :: ''[[Swift (Aerospace Fighter class)|Swift]]'' :: ''[[Spad]]'' :: ''[[Zero]]'' :: ''[[Rogue]]'' :: ''[[Tomahawk (Aerospace Fighter class)|Tomahawk]]'' :: ''[[Hellcat II|Hellcat]]'' [''sic'']<ref>The design included is actually the ''Hellcat II''.</ref> :: ''[[Gotha]]'' :: ''[[Ironsides]]'' :: ''[[Hammerhead (Aerospace Fighter class)|Hammerhead]]'' :: ''[[Rapier]]'' :: ''[[Ahab (Aerospace Fighter class)|Ahab]]'' </div> ==Remarks on content== * The title comprises descriptions of 118 units in total, all from [[Clan Invasion]] era and all previously published.
