- “This says that we're heading towards Springfield nuclear power plant.
[The Micromanager starts to shake.]
And that...was our breaks.”- — Batman
Meltdown at Sector 7-G is one of the playable levels in LEGO Dimensions based around The Simpsons.
Story Mode Plot[]
The level starts with Batman, Wyldstyle and Gandalf coming from a portal opening in the sky above Springfield. They crash into the Simpsons’ house, where they find their first keystone device in the backyard, which allows them to use the powers of the keystones they have acquired to solve puzzles. They also find the Chroma Keystone on the roof, but before they can grab it, the trio are taken hostage by Micro Managers.
As the heroes are taken high into the air, an invasion of Micro Managers start wreak havoc across Springfield; Batman manages to free himself, along with Gandalf and Wyldstyle while in mid-air, causing them to once again skydive, but this time, through the swarm of Micro Managers. They land on several Micro Managers and hack their computer devices, and they discover that Lord Business is attempting to take an Inanimate Carbon Rod (the Foundation Element from this dimension) from Homer, who has the rod in his possesion. The final Micro-Manager they hack starts losing altitude and crashes into Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. As the trio starts looking for Business, Homer (who is behind the power plant's control panel) makes the situation worse by uselessly trying to mend the damage made by the Micro Managers, as he has no idea how to handle the complicated controls.
After finding Lord Business, they defeat him, but he grabs the carbon rod from a kidnapped Homer and sends the heroes to Mr. Burns' office and escapes with the Element. There, the trio finds a power generator and the Joker, who powers up the generators with the Chroma Keystone and uses it to reactivate the Joker-Bot from LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. Joker pulls the roof off the office and attacks the heroes with the robot, but they defeat him by using the Shift Keystone. The robot is destroyed, and the Joker tries to escape with the Keystone, but he is knocked out by Gandalf and the villain is sucked back to Foundation Prime, whilst the trio leaves Mr. Burns' office, now in ruins.
Back on Foundation Prime, the Joker informs Lord Vortech about his mission in Springfield, and his failure to defeat the heroes, but Vortech says it doesn't matter as he has the Foundation Element that Business brought to him.
On Vorton, the heroes return with the Chroma Keystone as the Gateway Keeper attaches the piece to the Gateway.

Trivia[]
- The secret area of this level is based on The Flintstones.
- Coincidentally, both the Doctor Who (which released 3 months after the release of the game) and Flintstones (which released 5 years after the release of the game) Lego Ideas sets were designed by the same person, Andrew Clark.
- The beginning cutscene features the series intro and the logo, as well as the Simpsons getting together on the couch
- The cutscene originally had the full intro sequence, minus Lisa playing the saxophone and the family entering the house, but was cut during development and can be found in the files unfinished.
- Marge's attraction to Krusty's money is likely a reference to her interest in gambling, which was not mentioned directly likely to keep things suitable for younger players as Lego-games are kid-friendly.
- After the player safely crosses the vat of nuclear waste, Mr. Burns switches a sign that reads "0 days without an accident" to "323 days without otherworldly invasions" (then replacing the number of the latter with the former's), referring to LEGO Dimensions released 323 days after the Simpsons/Futurama crossover episode "Simpsorama" was released.
- Homer's prayer for Superman to save him was reused from the episode "Lost our Lisa".
- This reference is also used for Homer's reaction to Superman himself.
- The Joker-Bot that the Joker brings back to life is the same one from LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. Batman is directly shown to remember the bot, saying "Not this again", and Joker saying "ready for round 2".
