Yeah! It'll be far out, man! Except that's 60s slang, not 70s. It'll be groovy?

ETA: Details.
The original video has several incidental characters, but only a few that are named, credits style:
*Sir Stewart Wallace as Himself (guest star, a drug mule or dealer)
*Nathan Wind as Cocheese (Ye Rogue Cop)
*Vic Colfari as Bobby, "The Rookie" (what it says on the tin)
*Alesondro Alegre as "The Chief"
So! For Space War I era characters (aka he original SDFM TV show) I'd suggest one of the Zentraedi inflitrators for the Guest Star as himself (not the series villian, just a small fish) Hikaru for Cocheese, Max for Bobby, and Roy for The Chief. Macross M3 and Plus have casts that are too small and settings too wide-ranging to effectively make a 2040s version, but being abord Island Seven in 204x would work - though at that point you're either basically adopting Fire Bomber minus Veffidas directly (Basara, Mylene, & Ray with Gamlin, Gigile, or Sivil as the Guest Star, unless you use the older Jenius daughter from the M7 movie) Alternately, you could ignore Fire Bomber and go with the second ccrossover show cast, which means they get to tool around in one of those funky variable police vehicles rather than a cutting edge fightercraft. If you were really going to use the Excel Saga cast, this would be the place to put Kabapu's crew.
In Frontier ... well, despite what people say about he F characters being nothing more than the oiginal generation with the numbers filed off, they actually are pretty different except for the "Big brother" figure, which is more a mecha-show trope as a genre than Macross specifically. I'd say keep Asuma/Fokker-alike as The Chief, but switch the supposed Max and Hikaru clones, so that Michael is Cocheese and Alto is Bobby. 2059s Guest Star is obviously Sheryl.
As for mixing in Excel Saga... that was a seperate idea, this one is more along the lines of a Crossover that Might Ought to Be.
