THEXDER (1987)

"You control a robot ("mech") that is capable of switching from a 'mech into a jet at any time, wading through levels after levels of high-tech enemies."

download abandonware or play inbrowser

Space Bar to Laser, Z to Activate Shields, Down Arrow to Transform to Jet Mode

"Thexder is a solid PC conversion of Game Arts' hit in Japan, licensed to distribute in the US by Sierra."

I bought it in a store. It was packaged in a big box, the game came on a thin magnetic disc encased in hard plastic, there was a thick booklet also.

there was an xbox game called gunmetal that had the player switch between jet and mech form.

It sounds similar, but is clearly another era.
