===''Macross Plus'' OVA===
The OVA version (マクロスプラス) consists of four episodes, each approximately 37–40 minutes in length. The Japanese voice cast is as follows:

*[[Isamu Alva Dyson]] ([[Takumi Yamazaki]])
*[[Guld Goa Bowman]] ([[Unshou Ishizuka]])
*[[Myung Fang Lone]] ([[Rica Fukami]])
*[[Lucy Macmillan|Lucy McMillan]] ([[Megumi Hayashibara]])
*[[Sharon Apple]] ([[Mako Hyōdō]])
*Marge Gueldoa ([[Show Hayami]])
*[[Millard Johnson (Macross)|Millard Johnson]] ([[Kenji Utsumi]])
*[[Yang Neumann]] ([[Tomohiro Nishimura]])
*Kate Masseau ([[Urara Takano]])

===''Macross Plus: International Version''===
An English dub version was produced for the international market, featuring a North American cast and an English version of the main theme "Voices". When it came to Episode 4 of the original translation, due to a rights issue at the time, the entire soundmix including music and sound effects had to be recreated from scratch. Only the songs performed by Sharon Apple ("Pulse," "Information High," and "Santi-U(second half)/Torch Song") and the English version of "Voices" were retained. The background music entitled "Dogfight" was replaced with another track entitled "Breakout" (featured in Episode 1 and 2), notably in the main Dogfight sequence and just after Isamu recovers from his trance.

It was later that Bandai Visual commissioned a new dub for Episode 4, retaining the original Japanese soundmix but utilizing a new voice cast due to actor availability. Most notably Isamu's part was recast with [[David Hayter]], most famous for his voicework on the [[Metal Gear]] series. This version was exclusive to Japan, also being included as the English dub of choice on the Japanese Blu-ray release in 2012, still retaining the original Manga versions of Episodes 1 - 3.

In Japan, this version was released with Japanese subtitles as the "International Version".
