I would write it up as a modified vibroaxe.

C.

Force Pike with the concussive property added.

Might want to give it Blast (perhaps requiring Prepare 1) with a special rule that the Blast doesn't hurt the wielder. Not sure it makes sense, but...

I feel Insect King is on the right track, in that you start with a vibro-ax and modify from there.

Probably loose the Sunder and replace it with Knockdown and Stun 2 to account from the kinetite shockwave, meaning a really solid hit with the charge will bowl the target over and leave them smarting. Of you could keep the Sunder, but in that case I'd definitely suggest a substantial increase in price over the standard vibro-ax.

Keeping the crit rating and ranks of Vicious as -is covers the weapon's ability to shred metal and flesh, just using the energy ribbon instead of a vibrating cutting edge.

The Vibro-saw may have stats closer to what you want but as others have said include a knockdown/stun quality.

I would add a rule that stats you must declare which side you are using for the attack.

I'd go with what happy and tince said. Use the vibrosaw stats and add knockdown, blast, and stun. You must specify which end you use, and the end with the charge is slow firing and you should probably give it limited ammo for balance purposes.

The shockwave thing sounds more like an Alt fire mode attachment than an organic component or the weapon.
