 Actually Compa, I had the very same question after reading the chat, so I was watching this thread to see if anyone answered your question. So, If I knew, I'd tell ya, but alas I do not! :(  
 So if anyone out there knows or could find out, an answer would be greatly appreciated!  
 And Compa, I agree, I like the shields with the swirling effect much better!  
 Wow, it's great to know you like them the same way as I do! :) 
 And about the swirling effect, you can all see it in the game trailer, here:
