==Description==
Set six years after the [[Clan Invasion]], '''''Technical Readout: 3055 Revised''''' reintroduced a whole set of chronologically new unit designs. The [[Inner Sphere]] sections presented new [[BattleMech]]s utilizing the enhanced technology introduced with ''TRO:3050''. The [[Clan]] sections broadened the view on the invading forces, by revealing second-line units, new [[OmniMech]] designs and [[OmniFighter]]s. In-universe, it purported to be a [[ComStar]] report dating from 3055.

'''Technical Readout: 3055 Revised''' was the managed response to the issue of the [[Unseen]], like ''[[Technical Readout: 3025 Revised]]'' and ''[[Technical Readout: 3050 Revised]]'' had been. It supersede the original ''[[Technical Readout: 3055]]'' (with even the same product number), simply dropping the Unseen designs. Apart from that, only minor editorial changes were made. Unlike previous revised editions, ''TRO:3055 Revised'' did not receive an additional in-universe explanation for its existence; it still purports to be a [[ComStar]] report from [[3055]].

''TRO:3055 Revised'' was superseded in 2005 by ''[[Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade]]''.

==From the Back Cover==
{{quote|''In [[3049]], without warning, [[Aleksandr Kerensky|Kerensky]]'s heirs set upon the [[Inner Sphere]] in a savage series of battles known collectively as the [[Clan Invasion|Invasion]]. On [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Tukayyid]] the [[Com Guards]] brought the seemingly unstoppable [[Clan]] war machine to a halt. The Invasion ended as suddenly as it had begun, and left in its place an uneasy [[Truce of Tukayyid|peace]]. Both sides now had an opportunity to reassess their opponent's strengths and weaknesses and respond. By [[3055]], the first of a new breed of [[BattleMech]]s rolled off the assembly lines of the Inner Sphere, machines designed specifically to counter the technologically advanced weapons used by the Clans. Only time will tell if these new designs will be enough to turn the tide when battle is joined once again.''

''The BattleTech ''Technical Readout: 3055'' contains illustrations, descriptions, and complete statistics for new Inner Sphere BattleMechs and Clan [[OmniMech]]s, [[OmniFighter]]s, and second-line BattleMechs.''}}

==Notes==
* Trademarked as ''BattleTech Technical Readout: 3055''.
* The product comprises descriptions of 64 units in total, all from the [[Clan Invasion]] era, and all previously published in ''TRO:3055''. It contains:
** 38 [[Inner Sphere]] [[BattleMech]] designs,
** 10 [[Clan]] BattleMech designs,
** 4 Clan [[OmniMech]] designs and
** 12 Clan [[OmniFighter]] designs.
* In comparison to ''TRO:3055''
** Seven unit designs (''[[Locust IIC]]'', ''[[Phoenix Hawk IIC]]'', ''[[Griffin IIC]]'', ''[[Shadow Hawk IIC]]'', ''[[Rifleman IIC]]'', ''[[Warhammer IIC]]'' and ''[[Marauder IIC]]'' were left out, due to copyright disputes. Since all removed designs were published in the same subsection (''Inner Sphere Refits''), the removal led to the termination of the respective subsection. The ''[[Jenner IIC]]'' design wasn't affected by copyright disputes and inserted in the following "Second-line 'Mechs" subsection. 
** The order of appearance for the OmniFighter designs [[Bashkir]] and [[Vandal]] was changed.  
* The in-universe presentation is given by [[Adept]] XXI-sigma [[Merle Jimmus]], [[ComStar]] (15 July, 3055). Unlike with other revised editions, ''TRO:3055 Revised'' received no additional in-universe explanation for its publication.
