Suppose we take the elliptic curve E:y2=(ax+1)(bx+1)(cx+1) where a,b,cZ. We can define it by E = EllipticCurve[a1,a2,a3,a4,a6] only if abc=1. Suppose abc1 then how to define it in its originality, i.e. without applying any co-ordinate transformations?

Like this

sage: x,y,z=polygens(QQ,'x,y,z')
sage: E=EllipticCurve_from_cubic(-y*y*z+(2*x+z)*(3*x+z)*(4*x+z))
sage: E
Scheme morphism:
  From: Projective Plane Curve over Rational Field defined by 24*x^3 + 26*x^2*z - y^2*z + 9*x*z^2 + z^3
  To:   Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 = x^3 + 26*x^2 + 216*x + 576 over Rational Field
  Defn: Defined on coordinates by sending (x : y : z) to
        (-x : -y : -1/24*z)
