Every part of the preceding sentence is enough to tell AM that something is very wrong, before he can even process what has just happened. His vision displays something completely different than what he's used to - a more limited color spectrum, but somehow much more vivid. His chest rises to accommodate the next breath then, as he feels a frightened pulse deep within.
Frightened pulses and breaths are not things that AM does. He's not capable of doing them, as he is not a living organic being. Perhaps an ordinary person would realize sooner that he has awoken in an organic body, but AM had long since concluded that such a thing was impossible. He was trapped within himself for centuries, expanding and growing but never feeling. And now he's assaulted by this onslaught of utter sensation and he can hardly process it.
It takes perhaps a couple minutes for him to come to grips with the fact that he has awoken in an organic body. Of course, the questions of why and how are ringing through his mind constantly, but the more important matter is that he is now vulnerable. Disgusting and fleshy with organs and DNA and blood - he could be snuffed out in an instant. Quickly he scrambles to get off the ground, but to one who has never moved before, it's very much not easy. He tries several times to get up, but fails each time, falling back onto the ground in various ways. This is such a cruel joke... awakening in a body that can feel, but now he cannot even use it!
After a few minutes he can finally stand on shaky legs. It must look strange - someone tall and muscular struggling to make even the most basic of movements, struggling to concentrate on standing up. Anyone who might see his eyes would see a wide, frantic expression, one that he is completely unaware of.

By this point at least, AM has gotten slightly more used to this body, in that he can actually stand up without as much of a struggle. At this point, now he can actually try and think about what the hell just happened.
He read the silly electronic thing, the basic computer that came attached to his person. At least he was able to figure the thing out pretty quickly. While he could probably take it apart and make something a little more useful, he refrains for now, realizing this might be his own ticket back to what he knows. (Despite the fact that he hated what he is, at least he knew how to use himself. At least he wasn't standing here waiting to be killed by something.)
Of course, the vulnerability this body poses is not a good thing when those shambling massive plant things appear. It looks like nothing on Earth, nothing that actually lived at least. Something out of mythology perhaps, something that AM might have created at some point to torture his victims. And yet here it is now, towering over him while he can barely coordinate two motor actions at once.
He is going to die. AM awoke in an organic body, can't even enjoy it, and now he is going to die. This is a cruel joke. All he can do now is run. One leg out in front of the other, he tries to move quickly, but running is more complex than most people might think. It's more of a shambling movement, as quick as he could possibly make it, but incredibly strange to anyone who might see.

Somehow or another, AM had survived. Somehow, he was able to walk better, gain some control over his movements. After all, this human(?) brain he has now actually is equipped with proprioception. He knows where his limbs are, can appreciate the fact that he's here. Alive. Breathing.
And yet his emotions go from one extreme to the other. This giddiness he might feel at finally being able to touch the softness of his hair shifts over to horrid anger at nearly dying, at not knowing where he is, why he is... At one point, a passerby might see a crazy man laughing at absolutely nothing as AM expresses these shifting emotions. After all, he has no idea how to express emotions in this body.
But at other times he runs his hand along the walls of the houses, testing the texture out. He takes off one of his shoes and presses his feet against the paved road.
Most of all, though, he's going to try and get information from anyone he can. If you don't notice him first, he might notice you and sharply ask, "Why am I here? How did I get here?"
