Well Spirit, remember how I said that it was a warhammer/jackhammer? You can't see them, because they're inside of the weapon, but there are pneumatic systems within that are almost constantly in motion when the weapon is out. A grand total of five pistons; four of them are small and are on the flat end of the hammerhead (the base of the jackhammer), and impact each of the four pyramid-shaped "spikes" on the flat end. In addition to increasing striking power, I'm thinking of loading  each of the four small pistons  with Earth Dust, which would be released through the small holes at the tips of each spike, which would meaning that hitting the ground with the hammer would enable ground-based attacks.

The fifth piston is larger, and is located at the other end of the hammerhead, where the cone-shaped piece is. Here it would function as a regular jackhammer, moving back and forward at a fast rate to cause increased damage to anything hit with that end.

Additionally, you may notice what looks like two pipes on each end of the weapon. While originally based on the usual handles of a jackhammer (as one could tell by their positioning), these instead operate as exhaust pipes. I have the idea that the constant movement and energy within the weapon causes a great deal of heat buildup, which is turned to the weapon's advantage by forcefully expelling heat exhaust through the pipes while the weapon is in hammer form (in turn propelling the hammer forward with increased momentum).

Thoughts on all of that?
