'''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.

It was never released for home consoles outside of Japan. It was converted for play on the [[NES|Famicom]] where it retained most of the features found in the arcade. A graphically limited conversion was also produced for the [[MSX]] home computer. The game was later contained in [[Jaleco Collection Vol. 1]] for the [[PlayStation]] in 2003, and in [[Jajamaru Jr Denshouki Jaleco Memorial]] for the [[Game Boy Advance]] in 2004. A faithfully emulated conversion was also released for [[Windows]] in [[2004]]
