Ah, there you have it, right from the horse's mouth. Turns out both statements were true XD.
Well then, let me say it here, congratulations to everyone involved, those look very cool.

From the Catalyst Game Labs Tumblr:
And look! More MARAUDERS.
BattleTech has had some great announcements the last few months. Catalyst began in July show-casing our re-imagined Warhammer.
Then the great crew at Harebrained Schemes up-notch-kicked that something fierce with the news they would shortly launch a Kickstarter for a turn-based PC BattleTech game.
Then Monday Piranha Games joined the deluge in style, posting up a pre-order for their re-imagine Marauder for MechWarrior Online.
Well, Piranha showed us theirs, so only fair we show them ours…this final line drawing of our re-imagined Marauder just came in this morning and as usual, immediately sharing.
As I’m working on scripts for some short videos to go along with HBS BattleTech Kickstarter, watching this re-imagined artwork flowing in for our coming Combat Manuals (and other books), and salivating at the idea of playing a Warhammer in MechWarrior Online…what a great time to be a BattleTech fan.
Next few years are gonna be one amazing ride!

If 2003 is "a couple years ago" then yes, Project Phoenix was a couple years ago.
The Project Phoenix designs are still canon - they are in-universe post-3067 "facelifted" mechs. Like slapping a body kit on a robot.
These newly made designs of older mechs are meant to be a retcon of the Macross, etc designs that they have not been able to use for 20 years.

I got into the hype by preordering the Maruader in Mech Warrior Online. I'm a little disappointed that I won't get it until 1 December.
Played a game with a Locust on my team. OMG, was that thing FAST. And the guy piloting it was a master of Light Mechs.
Seeing all these older mechs being subtly redesigned and released back into the universe brings back a lot of nostalgia.

At present, all we know is that we will see the 3025 Unseen (the Locust, Stinger, Wasp, Valkyrie, Phoenix Hawk, Griffin, Scorpion, Shadow Hawk, Wolverine, Rifleman, Crusader, Thunderbolt, Archer, Warhammer, Marauder, Goliath, BattleMaster, Longbow, and Marauder II) and I believe there are plans to redo the Ostscout, Ostsol and Ostroc as well

I didn't like the Locust when I started Btech years ago but I've changed my views. What I don't like is the current sculpt but running Project Phoenix Locust (a lovely design) with that new miniature is Heaven on Earth.
I have 3 old school models but I'm totally in for a dozen more. Now holding my breath for the other two bug mechs.
