'''Formation Z''' (known as '''Aeroboto''' in the U.S.) is a shoot'em up game developed by [[Jaleco]] with a twist. The machine that you pilot starts out as a robot. By pressing and holding the jump button down, you will transform from a robot to a jet fighter plane (in a manner similar to the [[wp:VF-1 Valkyrie|Robotech VF-1 Valkyrie]]). In this mode, you can travel extremely fast and cross bodies of water that the robot mode cannot. But you consume a supply of fuel, so you can't remain a jet forever unless you collect more fuel. | '''Formation Z''' (known as '''Aeroboto''' in the U.S.) is a shoot'em up game developed by [[Jaleco]] with a twist.
