An ability of an Equipment that triggers “whenever equipped creature attacks” triggers only if the Equipment was attached to a creature at the moment that creature was declared as an attacker, and any references to “that creature” in the effect refer to the creature the Equipment was attached to when the ability triggered.If they were already attached to other creatures, they remain attached to those creatures. If Armory Automaton leaves the battlefield before its ability resolves, nothing happens to any of the Equipment it targeted.However, if the Equipment says that the equipped creature has an ability, the word “you” in that ability refers to you, the controller of the creature. If an Equipment an opponent controls is attached to a creature you control, any ability of that Equipment that says “you” refers to that opponent.The controller of Armory Automaton can’t pay the equip cost to move Equipment they don’t control. The controller of the Equipment can pay the equip cost to move that Equipment to a creature they control, but only any time that player could cast a sorcery.


The triggered ability triggers both when Armory Automaton enters the battlefield and whenever it attacks.
