You resolve the Colossal Fighter + Armory Arm loop and separately discuss Interplanetary Invader "A" being returned to the Deck by Grave Protector.
Yes, the Colossal Fighter + Armory Arm combo works in Edison. Interplanetary Invader "A" only triggers if it is destroyed or removed from play and remains in a public location; if it is returned to the Deck by Grave Protector, it does not activate. This is treated as an exception related to trigger recognition in private locations.
