Ok so - stop screaming it's just me - so we know Experiment!Wheeljack can growl and hiss and stuff, but can he purr? And/or does he act animalistic in other ways (territorial, gets the zoomies, etc)? (You explored some of this in the chapter where he's staying at the original Autobot outpost, but I keep having Thoughts™ about our favorite gremlin Wrecker so I came here to chat about him😅) Ok that's all, I'll just be going now

[sticks head through the hole you left behind]
Good question! I don’t think he can purr exactly the same way that a cat does, but he definitely can! Much in the same way he growls via grinding the sections of his throat together + engine noise he could probably also purr. So kinda weird sounding but recognizably purring
He also ABSOLUTELY gets the zoomies. He learned how to control it when he was with the Wreckers back on Cybertron, but it still slips out sometimes (like when June found him on the ceiling). Lights and sharp movements attract him, so he would in fact chase a laser pointer. Shockwave probably figured that one out the hard way while making calculations. He naturally walks very quietly and has a tendency to freeze up and try to stalk anything perceived as prey. He also sometimes has the urge to just get up and walk around randomly (which Ratchet also got to see when he caught him sneaking out to check on Bulkhead)
He’s learned to suppress most of the more animalistic urges around other bots. Back when he was on the Jackhammer alone he was quite literally bouncing off the walls, crawling around on the ceiling, biting the leg of his berth, etc.
Personally I think if he cut loose in the Autobot base it would go something like this

Keigo senses it before he even sees you hide your face.
Your twitching fingers, the fact that you're constantly chewing your lip—he knows you're triggered.
If he could, he'd snap his fingers and make any memory you have of your trauma vanish.
'Love...' He whispers, 'Come here, talk to me. What is it?'
'I.... don't wanna talk about it right now.' You sigh, choking back tears.
It doesn't help that speaking about it triggers you. You can't break down in front of him, not him. He has enough to worry about, being a Pro Hero, so why—
'That's alright, love.' His hands gently grasp yours. He knows it's something that grounds you when you get triggered. 'Want me to hold you? Or do you wanna watch something?'
You could scream at his selflessness. It's so easy for him, despite what he's experienced, and yet he's still so kind, so gentle, so patient with you despite your behavior right now. It's almost not fair to him, and yet....
'You...can you hold me? Please?' You squeak, blinking back tears.
Keigo's arms circle around you, holding you close, his steady heartbeat thrumming through your body. He's strong. 'It's not your fault, what happened to you. Just know that, alright?' He whispers against your hair, smoothing it gently.
'It's not your fault.'
With that, you finally break, sobbing into his shirt, as he hugs you firmer, whispering kind words to you.
'I'm here for you, alright? Whenever you're ready, you can talk to me. You can always come to me, love.'
STARTS CRYING

What if you were a horse?
Then there'd literally be no way to stop me from horsing around all day long
