Doombots really aren't an important prt of FF history. They were just a cheezy plot device so that Doom could escape capture, rendered useless upon his having diplomatic immunity. I don't recall one story in which Doombots played an important part.
And here it would be what it was in Austin Powers. A joke. But we expected that from Austin Powers. This shouldn't be the case with FF no matter how "light" one may think they are. The Doombot thing would send FF rocketing into absurdity. Doom showed too much emotion over his condition in FF1. And he wouldn't have had a robot propose to Sue. If she said yes, would the robot have been programmed to have celebratory sex with her as well?
If the goal was to retcon FF1 Doom, there are many more plausible ways to do it, from Doom curing himself of the matallic skin (but his being disfigured because of it) to the oft mentioned loss of the power cosmic (still leaving him disfigured).
