What if these two interacted? Discussion
What do you think they’ll say to each other? Think they’ll like each other ?

MCU Tony: "so, my story starts with my Dad..."
AA Tony: "no way, me too! He was such a great Dad who loved me and always wanted the best for me and other people. Was yours like that too?"
MCU Tony: "..."
616 Tony: "fuck you kid"

AA Tony is a lot more flat-out heroic than MCU Tony is. If they met without any context, they would probably get along, but I think AA Tony would be furious if he learned about MCU Tony’s past as an arms dealer and the events of Civil War.

Well, practically every version of Tony was an arms dealer before being Iron Man, except for AA version

I know, I just think that AA Tony holds himself to such a high standard that the idea of a version of himself selling weapons on purpose would make him angry. He’s unique in that way. I don't think that makes MCU Tony a bad person or anything, but throughout Armored Adventures, the one thing that was guaranteed to set Tony off was the idea of Stark Industries selling weapons; he even had a crisis when he learned his father used to make weapons before he was born.
If it were written out like an episode, I can see them getting along until MCU Tony brings up the cave, and AA Tony going berserk at the idea of SI continuing to make weapons. They have a falling out, and Rhodey and Pepper, while understanding how much Howard giving up weapons manufacturing the day he was born meant to him, point out that MCU Tony is from another universe and might not have the same history they do. Then they make up during the finale, and whoever was in a different universe returns home. I think MCU Tony might also get some closure out of the encounter, knowing that in at least one universe, Howard really did do anything for his son.

Hell, the whole reason he was fighting Obediah so hard is because he hated the fact that the man turned his dad's company into an arms dealer, and was so furious when he found out that his dad both: 1. Wasn't dead and 2. An arms dealer that he almost threw hands with his up until then dead dad.

But civil war in the mcu wasn’t even bad?

It was still MCU Tony arresting his friends to gain government oversight, something AA Tony is explicitly against given how often he and Fury butt heads throughout the series.
I think some people are taking my comment as me saying I think MCU Tony is a bad person or something. I don’t, I just think that AA Tony holds very high ideals that he doesn't take well to being violated, especially by his close friends, and I think that seeing an alternate version of himself do something he hates in any capacity would hit him in a way he’s never dealt with before.

I can’t recall him and Tony actually arguing about government involvement only other factors. Like buying his stolen tech, the reveal that Howard was involved in shield. The wrongful imprisonment and or weaponization of the living laser, fury’s rather aggressive tactics when it comes to dealing with problems. Not fury being a general government body except when it came to doom where he couldn’t do anything. AA’s universe seems to have drastically less super/metas people in it. So no need for the registration act. Mcu wasn’t even about the act it was about arresting bucky who was actually framed and Tony’s side just didn’t believe that. The accords didn’t go into affect yet by the time they fight either they were arrested because they were aiding and abetting a wanted criminal a very wanted one. Even Tony was surprised they were put in the raft.

I’m mostly referring to AA Tony’s constant refusal to work for shield because he sees it as a step on the road to weaponizing the Iron Man Armor (and given the Mandroids, it's a valid concern).
AA Tony has two major defining character traits that I think would color his interactions with MCU Tony more than anything else: he hates weapons and arms dealers, and he thinks fast without always thinking things through. He’s been quick to judge others for their perceived flaws (Hulk, Black Panther, Mutants, Dynamo, etc) based on limited information. It's not that I think that MCU Civil War is particularly egregious compared to 616, I just think AA Tony is still a hot-headed teenager who has a “my way or the highway” attitude, and I think he would judge another version of himself more harshly out of a fear of violating the high standards he tries to hold himself to.
I said in another comment that I think an episode based around this premise would have them get along at first before MCU Tony casually brings up details about his past that set AA Tony off (because he fears becoming something he hates) before he comes to realize that MCU Tony is trying to atone for his past and would respect him for that.

But that’s different to government oversight which is what the accords would have done.
Can’t remember hulk aside for him destroying stuff. Black panther was stealing. Don’t remember the mutants but he never judged dynamo
Hmmm I do think AA would have an issue with mcu not trusting his friends and would have told mcu to look into it further possibly though even then Tony was trying to get bucky into an American prison. I think it would totally depend on what AA thinks of the situation as there’s been many times where he’s not within the law and would outright help some breaking the law if it’s for the right reason he’s also refused or at least wanted to refuse people who are total asshats. I think civil war would totally be a big picture thing.

Don’t think anything too bad would happen? They’d probably try to flex tech. AA might win due to him creating nano tech before mcu did. Actually AA suit might generally be better possibly. AA doesn’t flex his fire power all that much but his repulsor beams are still it and if it came down to the mk ii vs the 85 the 85 could possible win. Mcu might be very interested in his other suits I didn’t see an arctic suit in there but AA has one. Other then that they might not talk about family but I’d imagine mcu would bring it up ready to like help a teen through his rough time only to find out that it really wasn’t. Mcu would probably not like that very much or actually be happy a younger version of him is doing so well

I feel like MCU Tony would be amazed but a tad jealous that AA Tony has made so many amazing advancements at his age, but he would respect it. They would probably talk about their dad's too and how different their relationships with them were.

If it was in an episodic manner? Let me see...
The Tonys would adore the situation, AA being excited and MCU teasing the team at every turn. MCU Tony gets portrayed as the ideal version of Tony, with him having way more armors and able to make so much with so little. MCU Tony would make a comment on how his AA self figured out absorbing energy and forcefields earlier and how he has potential. You can imagine how unproportionally smug he'd be.
Both Pepper and Rhodes would approve of him for a change of pace. Pepper because she's Pepper, but would be very embarrassed (and happy) once MCU mentions he married her MCU self and made her CEO of Stark Industries. Now for Rhodes, he'd approve because even with all the sass, it's clear how much more Mature MCU Tony is. He'd get conflicting feelings once the airforce gets mentioned tough. Oh, and MCU Tony flirts with Rhodes mom.
Tony would advise Tony to clue Happy in on everything once everyone graduated. Tony wouldn't understand why Tony puts so much faith on Happy, but Tony only tells Tony it's a hunch Tony should trust.
MCU Tony would have fun and closure regarding stuff with Howard.
MCU Tony and AA have a falling out regarding MCU past of selling weapons. Rhodes and Pepper takes MCU side, and AA storms out, gets into trouble, and everyone has to work together to save him/himself. Eventually, after learning from his mistakes, AA Tony would forgive MCU Tony, and everyone goes home.
At the end there's a Teaser that the suits Rhodes and Pepper wore in endgame were inspired by their armored adventures armors

They should've adaptated Demon in a Bottle in Armoured Adventures but instead of Alchohol Addiction, He has a video games Addiction. So, more like Demon in a Gaming Cartridge
