Perhaps you can use the EMPSphere for that. Seeing as it expands upon creation, you could use that animation once you build a shield generator.
Seeing as the EMPSphere (or EMPSpheriod or whatever it's actually called) also vanishes not long after that, you could try and extend it's lifetime or something like that. I think you could be able to set it to 0 to make it last forever (should be a small step from then to make it vanish again once the source is destroyed or something).
I guess there should also be a way to define immortality for a small period (or you could just increase the armor rating to an incredible level that is close to immortality or whatnot). However, seeing as I have no real experience in editing the thing, I can only hand you the idea's...
