Faceless Goons are already pretty scary, but some villains just want more. But the faces under the helmets aren't particularly fearsome, and Spikes of Villainy just don't cut it. Something to suggest the pain these guys are gonna bring...
Solution: make the helmet itself look angry. Enter...the Rage Helm.
This is when a helmet's visor is embossed with a furious face or something similarly frightening. Merely having scary-looking eye-slits doesn't count, although features that just vaguely suggest a wrathful expression might. Stern looks also count, and might even be scarier than the raging ones. Don't be surprised if this is part of the Doom Troops' uniform. Mecha-Mooks might have this, depending on how their "faces" look. Compare and contrast Malevolent Masked Men (for when the scary visor is the whole point) and Expressive Mask (which actually changes expression). See also Faceless Goons and Gas Mask Mooks. A common feature of Scary Impractical Armor.

Meta Knight from the Kirby series wears a mask that has this expression on his visor. However, given that most of the time he's an Anti-Villain, Anti-Hero, or just an outright good guy, it's not indicative of what he's (usually) like.
Dark Meta Knight from Kirby & the Amazing Mirror has a much thinner visor, which makes him look more aggressive and constantly scowling at certain angles. His more violent nature definitely helps.
There's also Masked Dedede from Kirby Super Star Ultra, who has a mask that has this expression, giving off an angry glare.

Discworld likes to mock this trope. They appear in Interesting Times and Pyramids. In Pyramids the soldiers wear them even during innocuous conversation, and some of the palace guards in Interesting Times have actually cultivated the art of going to sleep in their feet, confident of not being detected behind the expressions of metal rage on their visors.

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, and several other Power Rangers/Super Sentai series have Mooks and Monsters of the Week with sculpted mouths on their helmets. The rangers' helmets often feature sculpted mouths as well, but the trope is inverted in their case since their helmets' mouths are universally sculpted into neutral/calm expressions. In seasons where the rangers are animal themed, the helmets will often be based on that animal, but the snarling mouth acts as the helmet's eye piece.

Dwarven Helmets exhibit this, with the faceplate of the mask crafted to look like a perpetually furious Dwemer (unless your character is female, in which case it's smiling).
Played straight once again with Daedric helmets, as is standard for the series.
The Wolf Armor helmet has a cheek-guard shaped to resemble a wolf's jawbone.

In Fallout 4, the Enclave's Advanced Power Armor returns under the name X-01. The helmet still has the same insectoid appearance as in 2 and New Vegas, but without the Charisma penalty. In fact, you can actually get a Charisma bonus depending on what paint job you get for your armor. Also, Charisma is no longer a Dump Stat.

The high-ranking Jaffa soldiers in Stargate SG-1 tend to wear full-face masks depicting the inspiring Egyptian, animal-headed god of their commanding Goa'uld, either snake heads for the Serpent Guards or hawk heads for the Horus Guards. Those are quite scary, except for Setesh guards' helmets. Apparently, the latter are the subject of many jokes among the Jaffa, jokes whose humor is Lost in Translation.

Ithicanian army in The Bridge Kingdom Archives wears helms resembling savage animals, which—as prince Aren says, was his grandfather's stroke of genius, even though they are uncomfortable to wear. But they hide the identity really well, which allows Aren himself to go on spying missions, as well as hiding the fact that a large proportion of Ithicanian military consists of women.

The Fallout series:
The Enclave have Powered Armor helmets so intimidating that, in the third game and Fallout: New Vegas, they reduce your Charisma by one point! Not that it makes much difference. In the third game, they're nicknamed "devil suits" in-universe, as the Enclave armor resembles, er, devils with pointed horns.
The helmets of the T-series (T-45, T-51, and T-60) Power Armor, especially the T-51, are not too far behind in this regard as their visors are always slanted in such a way as to make the soldier wearing them look like they're perpetually angry.
In Fallout 4, the Enclave's Advanced Power Armor returns under the name X-01. The helmet still has the same insectoid appearance as in 2 and New Vegas, but without the Charisma penalty. In fact, you can actually get a Charisma bonus depending on what paint job you get for your armor. Also, Charisma is no longer a Dump Stat.
New Vegas has Legate Lanius's demonic helmet, which comes with a scowling facemask. There are also the helmets worn by some Marked Men on the Lonesome Road. The best are near-perfect replicas of Lanius' helmet, but a step below that are the ones that are incomplete, cracked, and deformed.

Gundam
The MS-07 Gouf series of Mobile Suits in have a distinctive triangular protrusion hanging down from the middle of their mono-eye visors, giving them a perpetually scowling look.
The MS-14 Gelgoog series have stern looks due to their wide, flat 'brows' and narrow visors. Uma Lightning's variant deserves credit for looking like it's actually trying to glare someone to death.
The Physalis Gundam also has an unusually malevolent looking face, with a curious, angry looking red "mouth" in place of the iconic twin horizontal vent slits.
As does the Legilis (Regulus?) Gundam in Mobile Suit Gundam AGE.

BattleTech: Rage Helm plus Humongous Mecha = Atlas. The Atlas head is sculpted to resemble a skull and as such is technically incapable of displaying any emotion, though many Atlases are customized to look angry. The Atlas II, a mech reserved for the elite units of the Star League, has an especially angry head◊.
Screaming giant robot skull face? Screaming giant robot skull face◊. Behold the BNC-series of Battlemechs, known as the Banshee. Only 5 tons lighter than the Atlas and still plenty intimidating at first glance.

Lord Belgaroth from Knights of Doom, besides his black plated armour, also dons a faceplate with a grinning demon's skull, complete with jagged fangs, alongside two vertical horns as tall as the faceplate itself.

The Elder Scrolls:
Morrowind:
Played straight with the each of the game's various Daedric helms.
Averted with the Indoril helms of the Ordinators, which instead have an emotionless Frozen Face. The lore-friendlynote relative to Morrowind. To avoid either having to do significant edits of vanilla content or being inconsistent to the in-game vanilla lore, lore from games and books after Morrowind is given lower priority and is discarded if it doesn't fit with Morrowind's lore or feel Tamriel Rebuilt Game Mod (which seeks to expand Morrowind by adding the rest of the province of Morrowind) indicates that there are specialized Ordinator groups whose helmets are altered to show other emotions. The ones who have shown up thus far are the Ordinators in Mourning, the guards for the necropolis of Necrom, whose helmets are designed to look like Nerevar (supplementary materials back around Morrowind said that the Ordinator helmet was based on Nerevar's face) crying.
Played straight with Almalexia's "War Mask" in the Tribunal expansion, which you get to see up close and personal when she tries to kill you.
Skyrim:
Dwarven Helmets exhibit this, with the faceplate of the mask crafted to look like a perpetually furious Dwemer (unless your character is female, in which case it's smiling).
Played straight once again with Daedric helmets, as is standard for the series.
The Wolf Armor helmet has a cheek-guard shaped to resemble a wolf's jawbone.
The Carved Nordic Armour introduced with the Dragonborn DLC has a helm shaped like a bear.

Edge of Tomorrow. Rita Vrataski is part of an elite squad who decorate the helmets on their Powered Armor with skulls, to contrast them with Rita who always goes helmetless for plot-related reasons.

A Song of Ice and Fire. The Hound has a helm resembling a snarling dog. It comes to represent the dark part of his personality as well as that of other people who wear it.
When Eddard Stark visits Tobho Mott's smith shop, Mott offers to make him a helmet with a snarling wolf so detailed/realistic, children will cry upon seeing it. Stark declines.

The Blood Pact of Gaunt's Ghosts wear bronze masks cast as snarling, angry faces when they go into battle. If that was not intimidating enough, they also undergo ritual scarification and intentionally stain their uniforms with blood.

Darth Vader's helmet has a chillingly penetrating stare, and this was exaggerated for Star Wars Rebels, making him look much more angry. Appropriate as the concept was based on samurai armor (see Real Life below.)

X in the Mega Man X series is a downplayed example. The design on his default helmet slightly resembles angry eyebrows, reflecting the more aggressive playstyle and darker tone of the games themselves compared to his predecessor.

A couple of the helmets in Vindictus have scary faces on them, notably the Beholder Mask. Vindictus is also the Trope Namer, but the item in question is not this trope; it's actually a helm enchanted to cause Unstoppable Rage.

There are multiple villains, both minor and major, from the Fighting Fantasy books wearing scary-looking faceplaces as part of their attire.
Voivod from Legend of the Shadow Warriors wears a horned helmet with a face-plate resembling a demonic skull, while his underlings, the titular Shadow Warriors, have half-masks that glares menacingly at their victims.
Lord Belgaroth from Knights of Doom, besides his black plated armour, also dons a faceplate with a grinning demon's skull, complete with jagged fangs, alongside two vertical horns as tall as the faceplate itself.
Conrad Zaar from Moonrunner, the zombie executioner and a Jason Vorhees Expy, wears a faceplate bearing a smile as he hunts you down.
