What is Project Phoenix?

I was surfing and I came upon a 3055 revised in adobe, but it was just a preview. What does it contain that my older copy does not? Have all the TROs been redone? The S7 'mechs seem interesting, but if all the TROs have been revised, I am going to be annoyed. BTW, What is TRO:Phoenix?
Sorry to once again show my ignorance to current CBT affairs, but there it is.

Well, I just ordered it with my credit card. We will se in 7-10 buisness days. I couldn't even find it on the CBT site, so I got it at Amozon. I'll probly also pick up the AT2 TRO:3057 since my BS copy is MIA. Apparently it has a bunch of designs that were in fiction, but never TROs. TRO:3055 has some S7 stuff, so that is on my list. 3050 and 3058 apparently have some new art, possibly variants, but also some combat histories and pilot bios, so I will get them eventualy. After that, I am not sure. The mercs supplementals are high on the list. And I never did pick up FM:Periphery so I need that to complete the collection.

Project Phoenix is Fanpro's way to reintroduce the Unseen. New artwork was commisioned for the unseen, with new 3055+ era upgrade stats. I think I have all the art somewhere.

Phoenix re-introduces the Unseen as the Reseen, those "deformed" mechs that sdog mentioned, updated to higher tech stats. Phoenix wasn't the smoothest way to handle the unseen IMO - it would've been better to just retcon them to the new appearance. Phoenix left the old unseen as unseen.

while I am of the opinion that the "unseen" mechs for the most part looked better then the reseen, I have to say the reseen Shadowhawk and Wolverine minis both look quite good, and the reseen rifleman isn't that bad of a mini ether.

I just got it in the mail, and I am disapointed. Now I am eagerly awaiting the upgraded 3055. I am sure the Solaris 'mechs will be fun to play with on game night.
