I have no idea if this is the official cover. All I can say is the eye candy just keeps getting tastier.

It's the cover in the CGL sell sheet, so I think it's safe to say it's the real deal.

Wait, don't we already have a TRO3058U w/ BA in it

This is a new print run.

Looks awesome but I think I'll skip a 3060 reprint would be worth it or a 3067 but not 58 for a second time.

Love that artwork though

TRO: 3060 got reprinted last year...

Yup, with the bad-ass Helios (and who ever thought I'd write those words?), but 3058U hasn't had a Catalyst print run yet. Thus the new cover - rather than reuse the original 3058 art yet again, why not "upgrade" the cover along with the rebranding? Personally, that was what disappointed me the most about the first 3058U - I never liked that Bushwacker piece, and seeing it used again when all the other Upgrades got new covers kept me from buying it in DTF.

So, with 3058U, all that's left to reprint for Catalyst are 3055U and 3067. Well, okay, maybe 3057R, but it's no secret that it needs a cover-to-cover review and repair.

The new covers actually have me tempted to pick up the reprints of 3058U and 3060 - But I did like the Bushwacker cover on the original 3058/U

I'd love a new edition of 3057r with new stats and cover art. For some reason, the Leviathan art has never seemed even remotely threatening to me. I don't know if you can make what looks for all the world like a "Dorm in SPAAACE!" appear menacing or if you'd need to pick a new poster child.

I hope the 3058 upgrades keep the original cover with the Bushwacker. What the heck are those battlemechs on the upgrades front cover? Ugly looking.

Kotetsu · « **Reply #10 on:** 19 February 2011, 16:09:55 »

Think the one in the foreground is an Enfield.

And the one on the right looks like an Emperor.

Know it is correct for the latter; the former appears correct as well.

Definitely like it. If I didn't already have 58U, I'd pick it up. It looks a lot nicer than the Bushwacker.

SteelRaven · « **Reply #13 on:** 19 February 2011, 18:15:04 »

I think the Bushwacker cover is a great cover and is one of the best of the original FASA TRO covers but I would be lying if I said this wasn't a 100% improvment on the

factor!

FedSunsBorn · « **Reply #14 on:** 19 February 2011, 18:20:18 »

Yeah, took me a sec to realize what mech that Enfield was.

I really do love that artwork though. Great job.

Snake Eyes · « **Reply #15 on:** 19 February 2011, 18:27:38 »

SWEET!!!!, but, is this just a new cover for the reprinting of the 3058 TRO?, are the contents the same?, if so, i alreadyhave two cois of the 3058 TRO, the regular one and the one with the BAs in it

Per the sellsheet, it's exactly the same, just with a new cover and incorporating errata.

Nice artwork, but I kinda like my TRO-3058U with the Bushy

Marwynn · « **Reply #18 on:** 19 February 2011, 19:28:14 »

Smexy. I'll probably just make that my background though, I have two 3058s somewhere.

LastChanceCav · « **Reply #19 on:** 19 February 2011, 19:30:35 »

I'll probably pick up a copy. As someone who was out of the game for a while, I really appreciate Catalyst bringing back what I missed a chance at in print and giving fresh faces to the game their first taste. At the same time, I can understand how people who have stuck with the game through FASA and FanPro would rather see something fresh to them.

Cheers,

They really, really need to update the gallery. So much awesome cover art without a home.

Wrangler · « **Reply #21 on:** 19 February 2011, 20:20:51 »

So is the new TRO 3058 Upgrade just going have errants and be reprint of the only Upgrade?

My vote for the 3057 cover

FedSunsBorn · « **Reply #24 on:** 19 February 2011, 20:56:44 »

Wow, that is quite an impressive pic.

May I ask where you found it?
