My animation, right after creating the slideup, isn't working. [SOLVED]

Right after the slideup, the stars seem to be going back to the position i specified at first by the "translateY(400%)" and ignoring the "forwards" fill-mode property of the animation. Here's the code. Thanks in advance!

/* --------------------------
  Keyframes
--------------------------- */

@keyframes slideup{

  50%{
    transform: translateY(-10%);
  }
  80%{
    transform: translateY(10%);
  }
  100%{
    transform: translateY(0%);
  }
}

@keyframes pulse{

  50%{
    transform: rotate(5deg);
  }

}




/* --------------------------
  SVG Styles
--------------------------- */
.stars *{
  transform-origin: 50% 50%;
}

.star{
  transform: translateY(400%);
  animation: slideup .6s forwards, 
              pulse .3s ease-out forwards;

}

/*

.middle{
  animation-delay: .4s, 1s;
}

.right{
  animation-delay: .8s, 1.6s;
}
*/

EDIT: It worked fine after assigning transform values to 0% and 100%, but why doesn't it work without them?

Valid keyframe lists: In order for a keyframe list to be valid, it must include rules for at least the times 0% (or from) and 100% (or to) (that is, the starting and ending states of the animation). If both of these time offsets aren't specified, the keyframe declaration is invalid and can't be used for animation.
