So I posted this on reddit but to no help, so I'm posting here in hope of more people getting to see this and possible help me find the game that I played all that time ago.

[Java][2008-09] Afterburner like game with Gundam/Transformer like mech character.

I played this game on a Samsung T9 Keypad Dumbphone that could run Java applications around 2008-09.

I've tried to make the most i could in the image about the game, notable thing was the game plays like Afterburner for the first couple of minutes you have to follow a way point in a specific direction then when you reach it withing the time/fuel limit the player's charecters transforms in to a Gundam like mech in a Transformers like animation and a bigger enemy (don't remember if it's a Alien or a Space ship or both) appears and you engage in a boss battle. Sort of like another Afterburner like arcade game that had a dude flying on a jetpack.

Someone said that it might be from the Macross franchise which I highly think it is.

It maybe from this franchise but there's so much media of it that finding that particular game makes it very hard.

Looking that up I found this : The Super Dimension Fortress Macross NTT Docomo 504i /504iS [Japanese] compatible i-mode mobile telephone game 3D-perspective shooting game i Game Daisuki! series One player Features VF-1J Valkyrie (Ichijyo type), transformable into 3 modes Bothtec Mobile 2003 April 7 Y300 per month

On Macross Anime Software list
which I found from looking at the "2000's" section on the Wikipedia page.

This is the only thing that jumps to me that it might tbe the game. But unfortunately I can't find anything about it.

Also seems like someone was looking for this game in 2006, where they found the info from that exact jp site I mentioned in the other reply.

MacrossWorld Forums

Another user replies:
You're flying through a square tunnel with a behind-the-VF camera. And it's a classic 8-bit tunnel, with depth defined by stripes of alternating colors instead of actual textures.
I believe this could be it, but still I can't find anything about it, not even a single image.

a cartoon of perry the platypus says i 'm on the case

I'll try my best to find it.

Update 1:
The game (according to your description) looks to me like Transformers: The Dark Moon and Transformers: China with both Driving and Fighting Segments.
Is that it ?

Nope, those aren't Java games. I think I should've added that it's those very limited in scope games where the game plays like a 8bit NES game and looks like it's 16bit with very compressed sprites and graphics. It's a Java Mobile game after all, couldn't be more than 1-2MB in size. So game is most likely from 2002-2005, and I only go to play it in 2008-09.

I played it on a Samsung Dumbphone, which I unfortunately can't pin point the model of.
 
I have no idea, but if it's a fighter jet that transforms into a robot for the boss battle, and there are "big ships", it definitely sounds like a Macross / Robotech game.

Were the "big ships" green and kind of rock-like, maybe? I guess you've already compared that to Macross images...

Maybe, Archangel. There is a Youtube chanel called JAVA Mobile Games that has a video titled Arch Angel Samsung JAVA Game video shows something close to your drawing.
Yoo, this is it! Thank you so much!
As soon as I read "Archangel" a light bulb went up in my head and reminded me. Thanks again.:D

Imma update reddit as well.
 
I also have two more games which I need to find, hope mods & admins won't mind If I post them in a separate thread? 😆

But first I need to draw about them, like I have done here. Hopefully in better quality and detail.

Also are spoiler tags not working? I added them twice but do not see them, both on mobile & desktop view.

Very well done, I don't have an award for this sort of thing so let's say you get a No-Prize!

Edit: @FR4M3 Yeah it's fine, although if they're also JAVA games the title for this one would still apply I think?

I don't think spoiler tags aren't working?
 
Another thing I like is that my memory really servedbme right even though I played that game when I was 8-9 and only played it like 3-4 times. Before dad took and sold off that phone. Or maybe it was from one of his friends' Idr.

But I just wanted to say I did draw quite accurately, just needed to flip the HUD both vertically and horizontallly. I drew it like that probably because I've been play Doom ever since 2010. 😂

I actually like the drawing NGL. It looks understandable.
